Chromecast Icon only in playback controls

Chromecast Icon only in playback controls

I am wondering if somebody knows something that I am missing here.

 

I want to use my Chromecast with my iPhone, however I can only see the Chromecast icon from the playback controls.  Which means if there is nothing playing (or paused) I cannot see the icon.  I have to start playback on my phone then tap the chromecast icon.  

 

It would be nice if we can enable chromecast first before initating playback, much like the Netflix and YouTube apps do.

 

Unless I have missed something 🙂

Usually when you open the Spotify app, it will show the last played song at the bottom and you can just open up the now playing screen that way.

 

But yeah just like you said, I've noticed that sometimes there is no song shown at the bottom so to get to the now playing screen you have to first start playing a song.
