JAKARTA - Spotify brings an important update to the Android Auto app by adding the popular Jamke feature of the car display. This feature allows passengers to join the music queue together in real-time by scanning the QR code that appears on the car screen. Drivers act as hosts who control the Jam session and can remove contributors if needed.

Apart from Jam, this update also adds a more prominentDownloads section to facilitate offline music playback, which is very useful when passing through areas with bad signals.

There is also a new Search and Mining button that makes it easier to access search for songs, albums, or artists without having to use voice commands.

This watch feature on Android Auto is the first time available on a car interface, previously only on the desktop. To start or host the Jam, users must subscribe to Spotify Premium, but free users can still join and add songs to the line together.

This update is part of Google and Spotify's efforts to improve the experience of in-car entertainment with Android Auto, and this feature will also be present in vehicles with Google built-in in the near future.
