Waze Lets You Control Spotify Without Leaving the App
If you are an avid Waze user , it is likely that you will switch between Waze and the audio app while driving. Well, if that audio app is Spotify, you’re in luck because Waze integrates Spotify controls directly into the app and vice versa.
In Waze, you will see the Spotify icon if Spotify is installed on your device. Press this button and Waze will show you the last played song and a set of playback controls. You can also do it in reverse order, starting with the Spotify app. Open Spotify and you will see the Waze overlay at the top of your screen. Choose where you’re going and you can get directions from Waze while staying in the Spotify app.
It’s a pretty handy set of tools if you’re using Waze and Spotify, and something that navigation apps have been missing for a long time. We’ll have to wait and see how useful it really is, but Android users can expect to find it in apps over the coming weeks, while iOS users will have to wait for an undefined date.
