My Question or Issue

On CarPlay Spotify there used to be a recently played option but now there is just Home, Search and Library.

Has the recently played been removed in an update?

Hiya Ross, so it's possible that the "Recently Played" option has been temporarily removed or moved to a different location in a recent update to the Spotify CarPlay app. The community is also currently experiencing an influx of questions regarding the CarPlay features. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for updates: Make sure you have the latest version of the Spotify app installed on your CarPlay system. You can check for updates in the App Store on your CarPlay system.

2. Restart your CarPlay system: Try restarting your CarPlay system by disconnecting and reconnecting your iPhone, or restarting your car's infotainment system if it has that option.

3. Reset the Spotify app: If restarting your CarPlay system doesn't work, try resetting the Spotify app by deleting and reinstalling it on your iPhone. Make sure to also disconnect your iPhone from your car's infotainment system before reinstalling the app.

It's also possible that the "Recently Played" option has been removed permanently or moved to a different location in the Spotify CarPlay app. In this case, you may need to rely on other methods for accessing your recently played content, such as using Siri to play recently played tracks or playlists.

Highest regards,
