Spotify Jam Arrives on Android Auto: Control Car Music in Groups and in Real Time

The Spotify Jam, one of the most popular social features of the streaming app, is set to land on Android Auto and vehicles with Google Built-In. This news will be made possible thanks to the new updates that Google has promoted and announced during Google I/O 2025, an event where Google presented several improvements for automotive applications.

The functionality of Spotify will allow creating collaborative playlists in real-time, where anyone in the car can add, remove, or change the songs in the queue directly from their own smartphone, without needing to interact with the vehicle’s multimedia system.

What is Spotify Jam and How Does It Work in the Car?

The Spotify Jam functions as a collaborative music room. The person who starts the session generates a QR Code, which can be scanned by other passengers, allowing everyone to participate in the same playlist, adding songs and controlling what plays in real-time.

Now, with the integration to Android Auto, it will be possible to:

Start a Jam session directly on the car screen;
Allow passengers to scan the QR Code on the console to participate;
Control the music using their own phone without distracting the driver;
Discover songs, skip tracks, go back, add and rearrange the queue, all safely and intuitively.

This feature eliminates the classic problem of “passing the phone forward” or asking the passenger to change the playlist. Everyone in the car can participate, whether from the back seat, the front, or even starting the session before getting in the car.

New Generation of Apps on Android Auto

The arrival of Spotify Jam is part of a larger update to how media applications function on Android Auto. Google has launched new app templates on the Android for Cars App Library, optimized to offer safer and distraction-free interactions.

These templates include:

Media Playback Template: playback screen with customized interactions;
Sectioned Item Template: allows for exploring catalogs and discovering music safely;
Integration with tabs, login, and QR Codes directly on the car interface.

Additionally, these new standards are already active on Android Auto and will also come to Android Automotive OS (Google Built-In) by the end of this year.

When? The Spotify Jam on Android Auto will be released in the coming months, according to the official announcement during Google I/O. For cars with Google Built-In systems, the feature will arrive shortly after, still in 2025.

With this update, driving while listening to music becomes an even more enjoyable, collaborative, and modern experience, especially on trips, parties, or rides with friends.

Spotify is also developing a “next-generation experience” for vehicles, based on Google’s new APIs and frameworks, which means more exciting features are on the way in the coming months.

New Generation of Apps on Android Auto

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

From space, Buenos Aires appears as a colossal spot of light surrounded by kilometers of darkness, revealing at a single glance the exact boundary between the metropolis and the countryside, seen from 400 km altitude.

NASA spent over 118 million reais to build a single bathroom that works in zero gravity, and it has just gone to space on the first crewed mission to the Moon in more than 50 years.

Iron foundry in Senegal reveals a pile of 100 tons of slag, 35 furnace bases, and a rare technique that has remained stable for centuries.

The only man-made structure in the world that can be clearly seen from space is not the pyramids of Egypt nor the Great Wall of China.

With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.

With a 1.3 engine, nearly 700 km of range, and Turbo 200, the Fiat model surpasses Polo, Tera HB20, and Onix, becoming the best-selling car in March; see the numbers for the Fiat Strada and others.

The Honda Fit has been discontinued for years, but the 2018 model is worth more today in the Fipe table than it cost brand new, proving that this used car, valued with a 1.5 i-VTEC engine and Magic Seat, only increases in price.

Volkswagen unveiled the 2027 Atlas with a 282-horsepower EA888 turbo engine, a 15-inch screen, massage seats, and a completely new interior to finally elevate the three-row SUV built on the MQB platform to a new level.

After decades out of the spotlight, Citroën is preparing to bring back the legendary 2CV as a low-cost electric vehicle, betting on the revival of one of the most popular cars in history and aiming to enter the race for affordable compact cars.
