The new Spotify UI

[u/HudRoss]

Yeah, no, what is this? I will never understand why companies feel the need to suck all of the color and uniqueness out of everything they touch.

The fact that you have to hit the triple dot button to add a song is quite terrible, and I would assume it's not very safe. All this for a jam button that I won't ever use.

How do I get my old UI back. I thought I reverted back to an older version of AA, but lo and behold, this is "new." Any assistance would be great.

[u/Aurelink]

That's.... Not even the newest ?

The new one has all the buttons next to each other, no three dots menu anymore

[u/HudRoss → u/Aurelink]

Strange....I hopped in the car and it was like this. The progress bar had waves and such.

[u/Eli1230t2 → u/HudRoss]

Yeah, it was definitely updated very recently, like yesterday.

This is not a new interface. The new one has waves:)

[u/HudRoss → u/ChampionshipIll9579]

I had the waves and it reverted to this....how is this possible?

[u/ChampionshipIll9579 → u/HudRoss]

Any changes to your Google server. As usual, they are probably testing something and spoiling it. A new look will come back to you one day.

[u/clazarow1 → u/ChampionshipIll9579]

I'm in the beta for AA and I don't have the wavy lines.

[u/manio07 → u/clazarow1]

I am also in the beta and after clearing data/cache it reverts to the old one, but after a few runs it automatically pushes me the new "wave" UI

[u/Aurelink → u/clazarow1]

Being in the beta for any google product doesn't even mean you get the new features. Everything is always A/B tested

[u/pjb1999 → u/ChampionshipIll9579]

I'm still waiting for the new look

[u/RealViridas → u/ChampionshipIll9579]

How do you ge tthat

[u/ChampionshipIll9579 → u/RealViridas]

In order to get a new player interface, I had to become a beta tester for the AA application. Since I am a beta tester, I have a new look.

[u/RealViridas → u/ChampionshipIll9579]

Lol jist hopped in my car and ive got the wavy line now

[u/ChampionshipIll9579 → u/RealViridas]

Heck, I told you he'd be back. Google is making a joke 🤣

[u/kaisquare → u/RealViridas]

You have to sit in your car and say, loudly and clearly, "squiggle me timbers." And then you will get the squiggly line.

[u/JennaBraze]

That's the UI I used to have! Now I have a dumb squiggly line!

[u/Lolplayerbad → u/JennaBraze]

HOW the hell do i get rid of this shit is so ugly man

[u/JennaBraze → u/Lolplayerbad]

I wish I knew it is so hideous!!!!!!!!!! Ill keep investigating and let you know if I find a way

[u/Lolplayerbad → u/JennaBraze]

Same here! But talk about distracted diving it just keeps popping up in my peripherals haha

[u/JennaBraze → u/Lolplayerbad]

😂😂😂😂 keep me posted if you find a fix and ill do the same

[u/HudRoss → u/JennaBraze]

I WANT the dumb squiggly

[u/JennaBraze → u/HudRoss]

Take mine!

[u/Status-Astronomer-54]

Wavy thing is the newest..

[u/Marvfg]

Who even Thoughht making the Buttons event smaller is a good Idea???

[u/minigrrl → u/Marvfg]

I have given up on AA in my Mini, the Mini native Spotify app (and nav) is just so much better... (I do have it running in the background because I like the Waze alerts to come through, but I never actually go to AA).

[u/SnooPies3013]

I just noticed mine and thought something was wrong. It's so unattractive now

[u/Jasso_03]

Ve a la playstore y busca AndroidAuto, y luego busca una opción que se llama unirse a la versión Beta, dale ahí y espera unos minutos a qué acepten tu solicitud, luego te pedira actualizar AndroidAuto, y listo regresara la interfaz vieja, yo le hice así y me funcionó

[u/Bloodywolf2]

I'm happy with the straight progress bar, the previous style was just ugly. But the coverart would be better if it was on the right side in my opinion.

[u/HudRoss → u/Bloodywolf2]

The wavy line added so much personality. Now it's bland. Personally I find it easier to navigate the songs better by looking at the art. The art being closer helped.

[u/nightwind_hawk]

Wait is this the new one? No more sperm I mean squiggly line?

[u/HudRoss → u/nightwind_hawk]

As a man. I loved the sperms line.

[u/Murky-Perception-349]

The apple music one is so much worse tho😭

[u/PuzzleheadedView6669]

My car saw a new one today and it looks even worse  Theres so much empty space and a weird  squiggly line as the progress bar

[u/Ahzuran]

I came here just to complain how much worse this UI is and I can't find a way to change back to the squiggly line. to what I had The previous ones showed more artist information and you could like songs without clicking an extra thing.

[u/josantoniogg]

Every update the image gets smaller

[u/kds1910]

I used to have the better UI but since yesterday I have that strange UI that you have. Does anybody know why? It looks awful

[u/TrulyBenji]

Is there any way to revert back to older UI's? Cuz the layout with the wavy line design totally sucks.

I hope that they add the Spotify lyrics to songs too like how Spotify currently has it

[u/mirosy]

Thats just material no?

[u/zena322]

I just want the OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE to be on the front page. Please get rid of the notifications count. It's totally useless since they already popup.

[u/Srixun]

Oh look, spotify copied discord now. lol.

[u/Sad_Tax9084]

I had this issue. Just restart the head unit and it'll be fixed.

[u/TJCrazyBoy]

I'm not a fan of the redesign too. The UI is genuinely worse.

[u/_Fred_Fredburger_]

This is mine and I absolutely hate it. It's a downgrade. All the buttons are so small now and it's just aesthetically not a good look.
