Spotify/Background app activity

I realize Spotify desktop can be controlled with my Iphone but when I close the app on Iphone, the music player still pops up and turnes my volume all the way up. I have background app refresh turned off so what does this mean?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Apple Music Android no longer casts to Google Home Devices I have set Apple Music up as my default music provider on my Google Home. Up until recently, everything worked fine but then I couldn't get any music to play by either voice command or casting. I removed Apple Music from my home and re-linked and set to default music provider again. This enabled me to be able to use voice commands to play music again but I am still unable to cast from my phone. I click the cast button, select the speaker, it beeps and then.. nothing! I've just confirmed that I am able to cast Spotify and Google Podcasts with no issues, so the problem is limited to Apple Music only. Please don't make me switch back to Spotify!
