TL;DR Android Auto drivers have recently been experiencing an issue with Spotify.
The bug is causing the app to display an error message that reads “Spotify isn’t responding.”
Google has confirmed to Android Authority that a fix is rolling out today.
Android Auto users are not new to the occasional missing feature, broken function, or other bugs. Like when Gemini wouldn’t run Google Home routines or when connections would drop or freeze every few minutes on some phones and car head units. Most recently, drivers were having an issue with the Spotify app. But that problem won’t be around for much longer.
To refresh your memory, Android Auto users reported being unable to access the Spotify app. When attempting to open Spotify, those affected were greeted by an error screen. The message on the screen read “Spotify isn’t responding,” which was followed by options to exit the app or to wait for it to start working again. You can see an example of the error in the image below.
Some were able to get the app working again through various means, such as leaving the Android Auto beta or deleting the app’s cache on their phone. However, the bug has been a recurring problem for others.
After discovering these reports, Android Authority reached out to Google and Spotify for comment. A spokesperson from the Android Auto team has responded with good news. According to the representative, “a fix for this issue is beginning to roll out today.”
If you have been affected by this glitch, you can now rest easy knowing you won’t have to struggle with this problem anymore. Be sure to keep an eye out for the next update.
