New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on June 14, 2022) follows:
In 2020, Spotify accounted for about 33% of the total market share of all music streaming services.
While it has shown signs of declining in the last year, the platform comfortably dominates the landscape with Apple Music coming second at just 15%.
But lately, Spotify subscribers seem to be affected by numerous bugs such as ‘Discover Weekly’ not playing or loading and iOS app crashing when switching from other apps while listening to podcasts.
Adding to the already long list of issues, iOS users are now saying the Spotify app is not showing up in the BMW ConnectedDrive menu.
The problem is making Spotify impossible to use for those affected and seems to have surfaced after a recent update. Reinstalling the app isn’t helping either.
Below are some reports from Spotify users for whom Spotify is not showing up in BMW ConnectedDrive.
Thankfully, Spotify developers have acknowledged the issue and said the problem is currently under investigation. However, they did not share any timeframe of when it will be resolved.
We hope Spotify and BMW work together and fix the problem preventing iOS users from connecting to BMW ConnectedDrive.
Until then, we will be keeping track of further developments on the matter and update this space as and when we come across new information so make sure you stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
