I contacted support about it, they didn't even respond. It's been like that for years.

Another fun thing it does... If you're casting to another device like a Chromecast, then pause, as soon as you leave range of the wifi network the Chromecast was on it'll start playing on your phone even though it likely wasn't playing there in the first place. It was the daily leave for work ritual to back out of the driveway, wait for Spotify to start blasting, then pause it again.

I can't believe that anyone who works on that app ever uses it. It's that bad.

Few times, it's made me have those weird panic moments when presenting a screen to a large group of people. Immediately mute myself, close the video and be like "sorry guys, something weird happened, I'll brb.'
