Summary
- Users of Android Auto are encountering an issue with the Spotify progress bar.
- The progress indicator disappears in full-screen mode.
- It still shows up in split-screen mode.
Experiencing the sudden disappearance of a familiar feature can be disorienting and frustrating. Recently, drivers expressed confusion when the live speedometer in Google Maps disappeared from Android Auto. Unfortunately, this issue has resurfaced as users face yet another missing feature.
The redesign of Android Auto’s media player, introduced in January, included a distinctive squiggly progress bar. Initially, this new feature faced its own glitch and briefly disappeared, but Google managed to restore it for users to enjoy. Now, it seems that a new bug has caused the progress bar to partially vanish again.
