Spotify remains the number one music streaming app despite the competition in this sector becoming fiercer, but the parent company seems to remain fully committed to providing users with more features and polished performance going forward.
Needless to say, this is quite the correct approach in the long term, as Spotify needs to provide its growing number of subscribers with the experience they are supposed to get for a product they’re paying for.
More recently, Spotify has released new quiet updates for both Android and iPhone, which means users on Android Auto and CarPlay are also supposed to install them.
At first glance, these are just minor updates that come with additional polishing under the hood, so no, there’s no new feature in these releases. But the good news is that Spotify might have fixed some issues experienced by drivers in their cars, including the weird problem that’s causing the radio to be turned on automatically when pausing music in Spotify.
While a confirmation doesn’t exist at this point given Spotify hasn’t provided us with a changelog, the release notes published in the App Store point to some generic changes.
On iPhone, Spotify is now at version 8.5.60, and according to this vague changelog, the new release comes with bug improvements and fixes, improved stability, and minor UI polishing. On Android, the latest update increases the app version to 8.5.60.1013.
In case you’re wondering, you’re obviously recommended to install this new version even if it comes without a changelog. Most likely, the magic happens under the hood, so if you previously experienced any issue with Spotify, there’s a small chance that this new pair of updates comes to resolve it.
You can get the new version for iPhone from the App Store, while Spotify for Android can be downloaded from this page to manually update the app using the stand-alone APK installer.
