Swedish music streaming giant Spotify, with more than 300 million monthly users, it is usually taken very calmly the issue of updates to its applications when Apple removes some of its usual barriers in iOS, as Google does with almost all of its applications.
From Spotify they are working on the new version of the application that will be compatible with CarPlay, a new version which, as we can see in the images of this article, shows us the name of the song that will be played after the one that is being listened to at that time, just like Apple Music.
So the latest beta of Spotify iOS has a great CarPlay UI update !! It’s so much better and puts it in line with Apple Music. Can even see the queue of upcoming songs and tap the artist name on the Now Playing screen to navigate to that artist. Yay! (@MacRumors @ 9to5ac) pic.twitter.com/MAI7SWHDlv

Thanks to this new interface, users who use Spotify with CarPlay will know at all times what is the next song to play. Additionally, 4 tabs have also been added at the top: Home, Recent Reading, Browse and Library. The home screen also offers information on daily news, personalized playlists …
At the moment, we don’t know when this final version will be released, but if we take into account that this is a beta version that is distributed via TestFlight, it will probably be launched before the end of January.
