Announced back at Google I/O 2025 earlier this year, Spotify is now taking advantage of Android Auto’s newfound flexibility in media apps. An update available now brings additional functionality to Spotify’s Android Auto app.The new Spotify app includes a handful of key changes. There’s now a more prominent “Downloaded” section in your Library, allowing you to only use music that’s available offline. That might be handy when driving on rural roads without stable signal. You’ll also now see an indicator on downloaded tracks while browsing albums or playlists.Finally, the big addition is Spotify Jam. This feature, found on the “Now Playing” page, pulls up a QR code which other users can scan to start collaborating on the current music queue. The driver is the host, with guests able to add music which is then played through the car, which seems like a really useful feature for road trips. What is your take on the new fature use while driving ?
