Overview
- Spotify acknowledged on its community forum that it is aware of a bug hiding Google Cast devices in Spotify Connect and says the issue is under investigation with no timeline for a fix.
- The glitch removes Chromecast targets from the Connect menu, so users cannot send audio to speakers such as Nest devices and Chromecast Audio.
- Reports describe the problem across multiple Spotify apps and platforms, not limited to Android.
- The root cause is unclear, and services like YouTube Music and Tidal still recognize Cast devices, suggesting the problem is specific to Spotify.
- Complaints have increased in recent weeks on Spotify’s forum and Reddit, and some users say downgrading to app version 9.1.40.1486 temporarily restores casting.
