The update also brings improved controls for playback and queue management. You’ll find it easier to skip tracks, pause, or browse your playlists without taking your eyes off the road for long. The refreshed design ensures that all the essential controls are within easy reach, reducing distractions and making your drive safer.

According to 9to5Google, this update is rolling out now, so you should see the new features soon if you haven’t already. The redesign is part of Spotify’s ongoing effort to enhance the in-car listening experience and keep up with how people use music apps while driving.
