The fact that the app is integrated with Google Maps, Waze and/or other navigation apps doesn't justify the removal of the UI in my opinion. Now, I have to adjust the screen sleep time if I dont want to unlock manually my phone (which is more dangerous), get more distracted by the song's short video when available, also can check the lyrics while at it (kickass feature by the way!!! YAY x3000). ![]() The UI was very user friendly, limited options, big buttons for easy basic manipulations and also provided a great display to see what's playing while keeping your screen on. A lot of countries have regulations and initiatives to reduce the usage of mobile devices behind the wheel.Īlthough the intentions are very noble, removing the Car mode UI is worstening the "do not use your mobile while driving" situation. ![]() I'm sure the community is thankful that Spotify takes in consideration the safety of their users while driving. If available to you, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay both have Spotify integrations that you can link to your phone and a specifically designed for a driving environment.

While we work backstage on improving the experience, one alternative would be to listen hands-free via Google Assistant. Think of retiring car-view as something that needs to happen in an effort to make way for new innovations coming down the track. On the contrary, we're actively exploring a variety of new ways to deliver the best in-car listening experience. This however doesn't mean we don't want to improve on how our users listen to Spotify while driving. We can confirm that we're retiring the car view feature. ![]()
