TL;DR

• Android Auto users are reporting a bug with Spotify’s progress bar.
• The media player’s squiggly line disappears when in full screen.
• The wavy progress bar reportedly still appears when in split-screen mode.

When a feature you’ve grown accustomed to suddenly vanishes without explanation, it can leave you feeling confused and potentially frustrated. For example, drivers were befuddled when the live speedometer recently disappeared from Google Maps on Android Auto. Unfortunately, Android Auto users are experiencing this feeling once again with the disappearance of another feature.

Google initially rolled out Android Auto’s redesigned media player, which features a squiggly progress bar, back in January. That new progress bar briefly vanished due to a bug, but Google restored it and rolled it out again for everyone to enjoy. However, it appears a new bug has now partially taken it away again.
