Issue description:
There used to be a small media bar when navigating showing play/pause, skip, track name etc.
I’m digging around online, looks like google has removed functionality yet again and have a new way of doing it.
I’m surprised this isn’t a more relevant question, I can only see one support post about this (Controls disappeared in Maps/Drive since 27/4/2025 update)
In order to have a media app show up it needs to be available in google maps settings – tap profile > settings > navigation > enable “Show media playback controls”, and check “Default media app”. Youtube music is there by default, and spotify shows up if installed.
From what I can tell, an app needs to be android auto media compatible in order to be listed under that setting. I believe this is the relevant developer documention:
I’ve bought a whole 2 phone apps in my lifetime, and Symfonium is on that list. Its just so nice and deserves the credibility it has. Please look into fixing this little feature
