Spotify launched an updated iPhone app on Monday that lets you use Siri to play your music. Apple recently added support for developers to use Siri to launch third-party apps. Since Spotify allows you to quickly switch between devices you’re logged into, you can use the Spotify app, on say, an iPhone or Android tablet, to start, stop and change tracks on your Windows. Spotify launched an experimental feature in early-2018 called Spotify Voice, a voice assistant that lives right in the app. It lets you speak to quickly find and play your favorite songs, albums, artists, videos, and podcasts on the music streaming service. Although the feature was initially only available on iOS, it's been ported over to Android so that anyone can take advantage of it.

Hi all,

Having a problem palying music from iPhone 6S to my Alpine CDE-175BT headunit.

Spotify Iphone App Skipping Songs For Itunes

When I am connecting iPhone via USB cable at the start of the trip, iPhone automatically opens Music app and starts playing songs from Music app. Then I manually click Spotify's play button. After this music is playing from Spotify, I can skip tracks, until I receive a call or press Pause. When call hungs up or I press Resume - Music app is here again, and I have to manually resume Spotify.

Some specs:

iOS 11.2

Spotify 8.4.28.1104

When I use bluetooth to play music via head unit, the Music app doesn't show up, but there are cons of using bluetooth:

- It takes nearly years to detect my iPhone and start playing

- Sometimes iPhone is not detected at all (as a media source, the phone functionality is OK)

- Poor music quality

- No charging (when I connect iPhone via USB to my headunit phone is getting charged)

Some time ago, having iOS 10 I had similar issue, but after some update from Apple (or Spotify) the problem was gone, all I had to do is install and then remove Music app.

If I install and remove Music app now, problem is still there, the difference is Music app doesn't open, so I have manually resume Spotify every time.

Tried turning it on and off again.

Tried reinstalling iOS.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2
