Spotify launches Car View on Android
Idea is to make using its app less dangerous behind the wheel - automatically activates when paired to a vehicle
Spotify is making it easier to use its streaming app in the car, when the phone is connected to the vehicle over Bluetooth.
The company today confirmed the launch of a new feature called “Car View,” which is a simplified version of the service’s Now Playing screen that includes larger fonts, bigger buttons, and no distractions from album art. In Car View, you’re only shown the track title and artist, so you can read the screen with just a glance.
The site 9to5Google was the first to spot the feature’s appearance in Spotify’s settings. However, some users have had the option for weeks in what had appeared to be a slow rollout or possibly a test, pre-launch.
Spotify this morning formally announced the launch of Car View in a post to its Community Forums.
