Spotify Compatibility
When listening to Spotify while navigating using Waze, the audio will stop when Waze detects a hand wave. The audio stops to receive a voice command. Often this hand wave detection is detected by accident. This is not the issue. The issue is that upon canceling or finishing the voice command, Waze restarts audio, but the original source of the audio is ignored, and Waze starts audio from the ITunes Music Library. If listening to audio from Spotify, Waze starts audio from a different, undesired source. This causes a big problem and a potentially dangerous situation as the driver would need to reopen Spotify and restart audio from Spotify. The driver's eyes may be off the road during this correction period. Waze should be able to detect the source of audio playing before detecting a hand wave so that the same audio may resume after the voice command function closes. Other applications have such a function (eg the voice memos function within iMessage). Waze should too.
Thank you for your suggestion! As you may already know, Waze is now integrated with several audio apps including Spotify, Deezer, TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Pandora and more. Just go to Settings > Audio Player and pick your favorite app.
