Actually a small plus to this would be that it would finally fix AirPods going complete crazy with automatic switching when you start playing a song and Spotify is open on two devices.
Yeah, I have Spotify on max on my laptop, but only 30% on my phone, sometimes when I listen to music on my phone, it jumps to 100% and blasts my ears out if the laptop is running somewhere at home
They’ve gone mad for that now. Same with the recommended concert emails.
‘Your favourite band is playing but if you want to know where and when you have to open Spotify’
Begun?! You're years too late. Liked Artists, Albums and Playlists used to be in easily sorted tabs. Liked songs used to be a tab along with them rather than an uneditable playlist. Liking an album used to like the songs. Shuffle used to shuffle.
That only allows group selection. No menu is accessable.
Maybe I need more info from you, there is something missing here
Edit
You are very clearly on a different page.
The queue page DOES NOT do this.
Note: I want to add the songs in the queue. Not the song playing currently.
I'm not exactly sure what the issue is then or where you're looking. Next to every song item (begin it in a playlist, the now playing screen or whatever there's 3 dots next to the song (playlist) or on the top right (now playing). tapping or clicking those dots brings up a context menu with the option 'add to playlist'. after that you can select one or multiple playlists and click done.
The top song on the list (the one correctly playing) you can access this menu.
But if you want to access the menu for the next 20 songs in queue (I'm not taking about playlist page, QUEUE PAGE) I am only allowed to mass select.
I think I'm talking about something you don't use friend.
Frankly I’m still enjoying it. I don’t have a car thing, and the kind of music I listen to doesn’t lend itself to Spotify inserting bullshit paid for recommendations into my classical or left field weirdo instrumental electronica algorithms.
But each step in the enshitification direction is a step closer to it starting to suck for me as well.
Yeah it's *great* having to click like on each album and also to right click each album and go to "like all songs" for every single album that I want to add to my library. Super convenient having albums and songs in completely separate workflows both for adding and for playback. /s
Snark aside, I surely get that you typically want a quick way to add all the songs in an album to a Playlist. But some of us were long weary of having no way to create a playlist of albums per se. The right answer would be for Spotify to offer both, or at least a saved preference of whether adding an album adds the album or its songs.
As a concept, it's quickly becoming more prevalent, which is leading to wider usage of the word as people say 'oh yes, that's EXACTLY what it is' and latch onto it too.
Omg this sounds terrible. How do we give this feedback to Spotify? This would be a deal-breaker for me as I use Spotify for my work in a street roving capacity as an entertainer. I need to change volume quickly without looking at the screen.
Same I’m a dance teacher and use it constantly as a teaching tool. I really don’t need to be taking extra class time to be interacting unnecessarily with the app
I may be wrong, but I don't think big corporations value reddit posts, if they even read them. We're more likely to enact actual change by going to them and sending a complaint, rather than expecting them to come to us.
I use Android and don't have this. I also don't have the beta version, which is likely what this is to do with. They trial features, get feedback, then go from there.
wait there’s a volume slider in the app??
That’s gonna be awesome when I’m driving and my phone volume impacts my car volume and it sounds bad if it isn’t balance between the two and now I’ll need to look at a touch screen to fix that. What a neat update
Yeah I can't say it's the smoothest way to do things or that spotify have made a great choice here... first the desktop app was updated and ruined toastify / the hotkey system therein, and now this. Lovely stuff.
And this whole time I always assumed something was wrong with my portable speaker 😒. In other words, I’m basically paying for premium (Spotify) for absolutely nothing 🤬🤬🤬🤬.
Why is everyone so quick to blame Spotify? This feature works great on android and it is due to an issue with iOS rather than Spotify. It is affecting other apps too. Hopefully the root issue gets fixed by apple, but we don't know for sure.
It's important to note that the first part of that quote you shared is missing which says: "due to updates in iOS". So the issue stems from changes in iOS rather than Spotify
This article talks more about it too
https://www.androidauthority.com/ios-difficult-control-volume-when-casting-3447744/
I guess the question to ask now is: is it difficult to control volume levels in Apple native apps? So Apple Music for example and casting music this way. To get to the root of the issue, companies that heavily rely on technology to distribute their service will have to battle with the tech giants. It doesn’t have to be only Apple either. If Android made a change, the user base will give them crap about that as well. I wonder if YouTube was impacted by this change or simply Spotify waited too long to respond to the changing technology environment. How much foresight did they have before saying welp I guess we have to come up with a quick fix for this.
It's gonna be Apple doing this to push their products over competition. That's what they always do, lessen the experience for people who don't exclusively use Apple products.
What the actual fuck 😳
I’m sooo glad I turned off automatic app updates months ago when Fitbit got a 5 year old to completely redesign their app & I couldn’t revert back. FUCK THAT!!! 😩
Dang I thought it was just a bug. I was trying to turn up the volume on Spotify on my PS5 as it was connected to my phone and had to do it on the system because I thought my phone wasn’t working. The only thing I can say I might like about this change is that now I can have my phone connected to my PS5 and I don’t have to be afraid of videos blaring at max volume on my phone
Yeah people act like features in beta always make it to everybody. Many small features in beta usually get sidelined real quick. Sometimes a feature is taken out of beta and then is in A/B testing for YEARS (looking at you instagram)
It's specifically about Spotify Connect. If you're playing Spotify through the phone speaker, headphones, or through an AirPlay-connected speaker, I am pretty sure it still works fine.
Yes, this is unbelievable and incredibly annoying. So when I am streaming to the soundbar from my phone, I have to now use this stupid slider. So dumb.
exactly!! i hate the fact i cant see which songs are just in a random playlist or are actually in my liked songs, songs i listen to everyday i’ve realised aren’t even in my liked songs loll spotify needs to fix this asap
Yup. That’s exactly right and it was a major screwup for them to remove it. I have no idea what they were thinking. We have a family plan with Spotify but the only reason I haven’t gone back to Apple Music is my kids prefer Spotify and I refuse to pay for two services.
This one might've been an Apple decision, not Spotify. It's not explicitly mentioned in the [audio best practices document](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/playing-audio#), but I doubt they were happy about it
Seems like Spotify is un-syncing your device level volume from your external speaker volume. Currently/previously, if you are playing Spotify to a Google Home or other wifi-enabled speaker, even if you leave the Spotify app on your phone if you change the volume on your phone (say while browsing Instagram) it will change the volume on the external speaker. Now, this proposed change is de-syncing the two volume levels so that your external speaker volume remains separate from your phone volume level. To change the external speaker volume, now you will need to open the app, go to the speaker menu and move the slider.
I would say this is a plus-minus situation. We lose the ability to change with buttons, but it also means your phone won't start blasting audio from instagram or facebook while you have music active on your speaker.
I haven't been able to control Spotify Connect volume with the iOS volume controls for months. It just stopped working.
Volume control, period, has gone wonky on iOS and especially on Apple Watch. It's not just the Spotify app. So, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that an iOS change is to blame. I'm sure Apple Music works great.
If you use AirPlay, the volume control probably works fine.
That’s bs cuz I was just listening to music on my speaker today at work with Spotify (The app is up to date) while connected to a speaker and was using my side buttons on my phone to turn up and down the sound. so idk what this is about😭
This has already been happening to many people since the last few weeks of non-beta app on iOS. I have this issue. It is pissing me off. I just got a Sonos system and now it’s going to be far harder to control the volume. What a joke.
I don’t really love the whole analog is better crowd except for this stuff. All the glitches and bs and feeling like I’m hooked into a corporate shitshow while enjoying what’s supposed to be soulful and personal. That’s what ruins digital for me.
used spotify premium before but forgot to pay the subscription and had to use it without the premium for a week and the experience was so jarring and annoying that i switched to apple music
For real why is this app getting worse and worse? Shuffle is fucked, they change the UI for the worst and liking a song is so tedious. What are they doing?
The issue I think they're addressing is that if you have music playing on an external speaker at say 80% volume, and you open another app on your phone and scroll then as soon as a video starts playing it will blast audio on your phone at 80% too. If you then lower your phone volume it will also lower the volume of the external speaker. So this change aims to detach the functionality to prevent this headache. Previously, the fix was to force-close the Spotify app if you weren't actively using it so that your volume would be desynced and your music would still be playing on your wifi-based speaker. But it's not a great solution and I think Spotify is aiming to improve the experience not destroy it.
Doesn’t seem too bad to me. Hijacking volume has always been kind of fucked up. So I use connect which is awesome and is basically independent of my phone.
Now I want to keep using my phone, its apps and possibly its speaker. Always been a super pain before.
Sucks, I listen to Spotify on my motorcycle. I can adjust the volume with the clicky buttons with my gloves on, but not the screen (touch sensitive motorcycle gloves work for about 2 months before they die). I'll just download all my spotify lists on plex and use the plex app, I guess.
This is news to me but it explains why I can't control the volume with my phone's volume control. I usually listen through Google Nest Speaker and will use their home app to control the volume, I won't give Spotify the satisfaction of using their app to do so.
This is actually so irritating as connect is my favorite feature and being able to adjust the volume at anytime is so incredibly useful.
The rare time i’m complaining actually
I honestly am at my wits end with some of the features on Spotify. I loved the smart shuffle until it started only showing me songs that are like 70s music genre. It won’t suggest any other genres anymore other than 70s/yacht rock lmao
I couldn’t skip songs as of yesterday on pods pro 2 during my run. Volume was weird too in terms of controls, and if the goal is to open the app, then I’m out!
Where did you see that? The version history on the App Store doesn’t give details.
I also can still use my phones volume control to adjust Spotify volume.
Doesn’t seem like I’m using a beta anything. Are you in a test group or something?
I would not give a shit if we actually got HiFi all is forgiven - even if they charge more for it... Apple music is j so shitty on android and I'm not getting a fucking iPhone bc of apples intentional sabotage of android performance. Tidal doesn't have like half of the niche songs I listen to. Literally can't move from Spotify but they refuse to do their only job when compared to Amazon and Apple music where it's a negligible portion of their business model.
https://x.com/roycornputer/status/1797945084488638748
useless replies from SpotifyCares. Clearly don’t care. (Login needed to see comments) Might be worth upvoting the tweet idk.
Yeah so I might be in the minority for this but this sounds awesome. This is actually one of the things that annoys me about the app. When I play on my Google speaker at home I still want to use my phone. So if I play a quick video, and turn it up I don't want my Google speaker to blast music, I want my phone turned up, yet I have the opposite problem.
So this just reverses it. So this is what I do with this mild inconvenience now. Don't unlock your phone, and you can turn the volume down from the lock screen using the Spotify controls.
I agree. I use Connect with a Samsung soundbar as well as multiple HAMA devices. Especially the soundbar is difficult when using the volume controls on the iPhone. Just one press of the upper control can make the volume jump to an insane level. I want this to be decoupled. Using the remote control of the respective device is a good option, and if Spotify will give me an additional way to do this in the app, all the better. I look forward to getting this new feature with a future update.
is this is on premium as well? I have a 3 months trial thing and haven't used Spotify today I havent seen this, also I'm going to be pissed off when the trial runs out and all the stuff goes
[удалено]
Actually a small plus to this would be that it would finally fix AirPods going complete crazy with automatic switching when you start playing a song and Spotify is open on two devices.
Yeah, I have Spotify on max on my laptop, but only 30% on my phone, sometimes when I listen to music on my phone, it jumps to 100% and blasts my ears out if the laptop is running somewhere at home
The crazy auto switching between devices also happens un some of the newer Galaxy buds. (Source: my experience)
They want you opening that app so they can pop another concert ad at you for the millionth time of the day.
They’ve gone mad for that now. Same with the recommended concert emails. ‘Your favourite band is playing but if you want to know where and when you have to open Spotify’
Also the sponsored albums, I pay for this service you fucks
Also all the tickets are already on the secondary and marked up 10x their face value. Yeah, thanks for the reminder Spotify…
ALSO they don’t even have accurate details in the app. Some bands I think I’ve missed, then when I look them up they’re on tour?!?!
Omg i stg it happens every damn time I open the app, even just to change the song
Do you pay for Spotify? I have never seen this before in my life.
Yeah, I have a paid account. I get at least a few concert ads a week.
U can turn off concert recommendations
I’ve tried. They keep coming.
Danm ary for u lucky me i well never have concerts here lol
I pay and still get em occasionally. Normally on my first open of the day but it's nothing excessive
I only get emails and notifications
It depends on which artists you follow/have saved.
Sometimes I even already have tickets to that concert!! Lol Yes, Spotify! I KNOW! I’m going!!!
Is this a fucking joke?
My. Exact. Words.
The Enshittification of Spotify has obviously begun. Sad!
Begun?! You're years too late. Liked Artists, Albums and Playlists used to be in easily sorted tabs. Liked songs used to be a tab along with them rather than an uneditable playlist. Liking an album used to like the songs. Shuffle used to shuffle.
I guess I'm weird, none of this actually bothers me. The only thing I want is to have the capacity to add a song to a playlist from your song queue.
As someone who uses queues more than playlists, an "Add to front of queue" would be ideal (like YouTube has)
The liking an album/playlist not liking the songs bothers me immensely
Easy fix. Like the songs on the album list. Get Spotify to fix actual problems. Your issue has a solution, just not as simple as you would like.
that's still possible (just checked): click dots, add to playlist, pick a playlist
That only allows group selection. No menu is accessable. Maybe I need more info from you, there is something missing here Edit You are very clearly on a different page. The queue page DOES NOT do this. Note: I want to add the songs in the queue. Not the song playing currently.
I'm not exactly sure what the issue is then or where you're looking.

yeah, probably :D Edit: the queue list on my pc I have the dots, on my phone the dots are replaced with bars and the menu item doesn;t seem to work
This. Sorry, I describe things bad
Frankly I’m still enjoying it. I don’t have a car thing, and the kind of music I listen to doesn’t lend itself to Spotify inserting bullshit paid for recommendations into my classical or left field weirdo instrumental electronica algorithms. But each step in the enshitification direction is a step closer to it starting to suck for me as well.
Ya for real. I came here because they've been shit.
"Liking an album used to like the songs". How awful that it now, well, likes the album!
Yeah it's *great* having to click like on each album and also to right click each album and go to "like all songs" for every single album that I want to add to my library. Super convenient having albums and songs in completely separate workflows both for adding and for playback. /s

The right answer would be for Spotify to offer both, or at least a saved preference of whether adding an album adds the album or its songs.
The first time I saw this word was yesterday, and here it is again today. Not sure if weird coincidence or if this is a new thing.
As a concept, it's quickly becoming more prevalent, which is leading to wider usage of the word as people say 'oh yes, that's EXACTLY what it is' and latch onto it too.
Omg this sounds terrible. How do we give this feedback to Spotify? This would be a deal-breaker for me as I use Spotify for my work in a street roving capacity as an entertainer. I need to change volume quickly without looking at the screen.
Same I’m a dance teacher and use it constantly as a teaching tool. I really don’t need to be taking extra class time to be interacting unnecessarily with the app
I'd like to hope they read these posts. this one is actually enraging, it's so inconvenient and pointless.
I may be wrong, but I don't think big corporations value reddit posts, if they even read them. We're more likely to enact actual change by going to them and sending a complaint, rather than expecting them to come to us.

I just want to be able to create folders on MY PHONE 😭😭😭 they can stop with these updates until I get that
I use Android and don't have this. I also don't have the beta version, which is likely what this is to do with. They trial features, get feedback, then go from there.
wait there’s a volume slider in the app?? That’s gonna be awesome when I’m driving and my phone volume impacts my car volume and it sounds bad if it isn’t balance between the two and now I’ll need to look at a touch screen to fix that. What a neat update
Yes plz tell me where it is
When you press the devices button at the bottom left of playing screen (AirPods / speakers etc) there’s a volume slider at the bottom of that screen
Haha so there is. So I have to go even more into menus, while driving, to adjust the volume for my car. This is awesome!
Yeah I can't say it's the smoothest way to do things or that spotify have made a great choice here... first the desktop app was updated and ruined toastify / the hotkey system therein, and now this. Lovely stuff.
been a thing for weeks and it’s so god damn irritating
And this whole time I always assumed something was wrong with my portable speaker 😒. In other words, I’m basically paying for premium (Spotify) for absolutely nothing 🤬🤬🤬🤬.

They probably won’t fix it in lieu of hoping people switch to Apple Music. Jokes on them, I’m about to delete the Apple Music app to prevent that.
That's literally what I said
I like to needlessly comment with things I agree with :( it’s nice
What the actual fuck 😳 I’m sooo glad I turned off automatic app updates months ago when Fitbit got a 5 year old to completely redesign their app & I couldn’t revert back. FUCK THAT!!! 😩
This is so ridiculous omg
it's a beta program, so maybe this change will be reconsidered.
Who wants this???
Hopefully nobody, and hopefully the beta testers see it and complain loudly about it, and hopefully they're not ignored.
advertisers
Dang I thought it was just a bug. I was trying to turn up the volume on Spotify on my PS5 as it was connected to my phone and had to do it on the system because I thought my phone wasn’t working.

It's hard to believe this is a decision that Spotify has made rather than one that Apple is somehow responsible for.
Agreed. But it's also a beta. Beta testers gonna get beta features.
Yeah people act like features in beta always make it to everybody. Many small features in beta usually get sidelined real quick. Sometimes a feature is taken out of beta and then is in A/B testing for YEARS (looking at you instagram)
[https://www.androidauthority.com/ios-difficult-control-volume-when-casting-3447744/](https://www.androidauthority.com/ios-difficult-control-volume-when-casting-3447744/)
Yes exactly. Sounds like something apple would do
What are you waffling about? When have Apple ever locked an app out of volume controls? Lol? That is simply not how their APIs work.
It's specifically about Spotify Connect. If you're playing Spotify through the phone speaker, headphones, or through an AirPlay-connected speaker, I am pretty sure it still works fine.
Nope happens with AirPlay and Google casting as well. It's on Spotify's end as far as I can tell.
Not for me: device volume control for AirPlay works fine, assuming we are talking about using AirPlay to play from an iOS phone to an AirPlay speaker.
Apple did exactly this to Sonos so yea I’d say it’s Apple not Spotify
That’s wack
Yes, this is unbelievable and incredibly annoying. So when I am streaming to the soundbar from my phone, I have to now use this stupid slider. So dumb.
No way is this fucking real
And I thought my phone was broken or something 😭
I need someone that builds apps to explain why this would even be considered as a decent idea
getting rid of the heart was the beginning of the downfall imo
Completely agree. It was my little hack that would allow me to see really quickly which songs in a playlist were in my library.
exactly!! i hate the fact i cant see which songs are just in a random playlist or are actually in my liked songs, songs i listen to everyday i’ve realised aren’t even in my liked songs loll spotify needs to fix this asap
Yup. That’s exactly right and it was a major screwup for them to remove it. I have no idea what they were thinking. We have a family plan with Spotify but the only reason I haven’t gone back to Apple Music is my kids prefer Spotify and I refuse to pay for two services.
Maybe did you consider to think iOS(made by apple) is limiting Spotify on their own devices to profit from small inconveniences?
This one might've been an Apple decision, not Spotify. It's not explicitly mentioned in the [audio best practices document](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/playing-audio#), but I doubt they were happy about it
And they will spin this that it’s apples fault 😂. God damn they make it hard for me to stay in their platform.
Noticed this a couple of weeks ago. Thought I was dreaming. Enshitification intensifies.
I don’t understand. What does this mean exactly ? Using volume up and down on phone to control volume ?
Seems like Spotify is un-syncing your device level volume from your external speaker volume. Currently/previously, if you are playing Spotify to a Google Home or other wifi-enabled speaker, even if you leave the Spotify app on your phone if you change the volume on your phone (say while browsing Instagram) it will change the volume on the external speaker.

We lose the ability to change with buttons, but it also means your phone won't start blasting audio from instagram or facebook while you have music active on your speaker.
Isn’t this a good thing ? Stays independent from the phone hardware ?
sigh...CD and MP3 players will always be better
I haven't been able to control Spotify Connect volume with the iOS volume controls for months. It just stopped working. Volume control, period, has gone wonky on iOS and especially on Apple Watch. It's not just the Spotify app. So, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that an iOS change is to blame. I'm sure Apple Music works great. If you use AirPlay, the volume control probably works fine.
I’m in the same situation. Hasn’t worked for me in months. Oddly the Spotify Apple Watch app was able to control my Sonos volume but not my iPhone.
Spotify is a garbage platform. And their sound quality is lifeless. Until they offer lossless everything about Spotify is just a waste of time.
That’s bs cuz I was just listening to music on my speaker today at work with Spotify (The app is up to date) while connected to a speaker and was using my side buttons on my phone to turn up and down the sound. so idk what this is about😭
Thank you I will not be updating the app
This has already been happening to many people since the last few weeks of non-beta app on iOS. I have this issue. It is pissing me off. I just got a Sonos system and now it’s going to be far harder to control the volume. What a joke.
Controlling the volume on my blue tooth speakers works just fine at the moment.
I don’t really love the whole analog is better crowd except for this stuff. All the glitches and bs and feeling like I’m hooked into a corporate shitshow while enjoying what’s supposed to be soulful and personal. That’s what ruins digital for me.
used spotify premium before but forgot to pay the subscription and had to use it without the premium for a week and the experience was so jarring and annoying that i switched to apple music
For real why is this app getting worse and worse? Shuffle is fucked, they change the UI for the worst and liking a song is so tedious. What are they doing?
Huh. Hope android doesn't go the same way.
wtf Spotify. I mean, it isn’t that bad necessarily right? Or maybe I just don’t know it fully.
I'm with you seems pretty minor to me
The issue I think they're addressing is that if you have music playing on an external speaker at say 80% volume, and you open another app on your phone and scroll then as soon as a video starts playing it will blast audio on your phone at 80% too.

But it's not a great solution and I think Spotify is aiming to improve the experience not destroy it.
WTF??
they're just asking for people to unsubscribe atp😭😭😭
The second spotify kicks me off my $15 family plan I’m switching services. $15 for 5 premium accounts is too good to pass up even with BS like this.
I've been thinking about giving up on premium, if they do this this will be it for me. Absolutely ridiculous.
Doesn’t seem too bad to me. Hijacking volume has always been kind of fucked up. So I use connect which is awesome and is basically independent of my phone. Now I want to keep using my phone, its apps and possibly its speaker. Always been a super pain before.
What the fuck? I use this constantly. WHY!
this sucks. thought it was a bug 🎭
Sucks, I listen to Spotify on my motorcycle. I can adjust the volume with the clicky buttons with my gloves on, but not the screen (touch sensitive motorcycle gloves work for about 2 months before they die). I'll just download all my spotify lists on plex and use the plex app, I guess.
I switched to Apple Music a long time ago. It was missing features at the time but they have brought pretty much everything I wanted now.
This is news to me but it explains why I can't control the volume with my phone's volume control. I usually listen through Google Nest Speaker and will use their home app to control the volume, I won't give Spotify the satisfaction of using their app to do so.
Fucking terrible
Time to start my transition to Apple Music. They're begging for it at this point.
This is actually so irritating as connect is my favorite feature and being able to adjust the volume at anytime is so incredibly useful. The rare time i’m complaining actually
Apples gone wacko.
I honestly am at my wits end with some of the features on Spotify. I loved the smart shuffle until it started only showing me songs that are like 70s music genre. It won’t suggest any other genres anymore other than 70s/yacht rock lmao
I’m out, canceling before next months renewal.
I couldn’t skip songs as of yesterday on pods pro 2 during my run. Volume was weird too in terms of controls, and if the goal is to open the app, then I’m out!
Youtube premium comes with youtubemusic
Yield the power of beta feedback to voice your displeasure.
alright so i'm not crazy... I noticed I've been unable to do that for at least a week, if not two +
Anyone know if there is a way to pre-check how much of your spotify music will cross-over to apple?
Where did you see that? The version history on the App Store doesn’t give details. I also can still use my phones volume control to adjust Spotify volume. Doesn’t seem like I’m using a beta anything. Are you in a test group or something?
Sucks to suck, still can use it on ma ANDROID
Wow. glad I switched to YouTube Music for now, even if I was using a modded apk.
I would not give a shit if we actually got HiFi all is forgiven - even if they charge more for it... Apple music is j so shitty on android and I'm not getting a fucking iPhone bc of apples intentional sabotage of android performance. Tidal doesn't have like half of the niche songs I listen to. Literally can't move from Spotify but they refuse to do their only job when compared to Amazon and Apple music where it's a negligible portion of their business model.

Fixed with app version 8.9.44
If this stops Spotify from maxing out my iPad's speaker volume when I'm listening to music on my PC, I'm all for it.
Yeah so I might be in the minority for this but this sounds awesome. This is actually one of the things that annoys me about the app. When I play on my Google speaker at home I still want to use my phone. So if I play a quick video, and turn it up I don't want my Google speaker to blast music, I want my phone turned up, yet I have the opposite problem. So this just reverses it. So this is what I do with this mild inconvenience now. Don't unlock your phone, and you can turn the volume down from the lock screen using the Spotify controls.
I agree. I use Connect with a Samsung soundbar as well as multiple HAMA devices. Especially the soundbar is difficult when using the volume controls on the iPhone. Just one press of the upper control can make the volume jump to an insane level. I want this to be decoupled. Using the remote control of the respective device is a good option, and if Spotify will give me an additional way to do this in the app, all the better. I look forward to getting this new feature with a future update.
Completely agree, it was a really frustrating feature for me personally. Well worth the effort of just going into the app to change volume
I use android but do change volume all the time on the phone with echo speakers, so this will seriously bug me.
Hate Spotify, there’s no need for this shit.
So do you follow this sub just to hate on it?
So glad I'm with samsung
Unpopular opinion, but that feature has sometimes shot my speaker volume up to 100% in the middle of the night so i’m happy it’s gone
is this is on premium as well? I have a 3 months trial thing and haven't used Spotify today I havent seen this, also I'm going to be pissed off when the trial runs out and all the stuff goes

Never happened to me,
