Device

Samsung Galaxy Watch (2018)

Operating System

(Tizen 4.0), Spotify WiFi/offline mode

Hi,

I got this really annoying issue on my new amazing Galaxy Watch. When working out with the Samsung Health app, Spotify automatically starts playing the most recent song after voice prompts from Samsung Health. It's like the prompts wrongly works like a trigger for Spotify. The exact same problem happens when using Bixby. I guess Bixby's answers are programmed like a voice prompt.

When listening to music intentionally,  voice prompts pause the music and then resume it. My guess is that the Spotify app somehow think the music is playing when its actually is paused and then resume the music after the voice prompt.

I've tried the same thing with the built in music player and it works like it should, so it looks like the issue isn't a Tizen bug, but rather the Spotify app. I'm using the WiFi/offline mode so I can leave my phone at home. This was one of my main reasons for buying the watch. I see other people have had this problem for several months.

Hoping for a software update fix soon. Thanks
