Album cover doesn't visible in car since latest iOS 15.5 upgrade via BT (All cars/devices are affected)

Hi There,

Since I've updated my iPhone 11 to IOS 15.5 (1 day before), my car doesn't visible the songs art cover via Bluetooth. I read that thousands users have the same issue with BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Renault etc.... with the latest IOS version.

Before the IOS 15.5 upgrade the album covers were displayed over bluetooth right (Spotify or local music)

Via Apple CarPlay it's working, but my car supports Apple CarPlay only via cable (Renault Megane IV Grandcoupe), and I definetely want use the bluetooth for music as earlier.

I tried to reinstall Spotify and restart my phone, but the album cover shows only for the first song, after it it will dissappear.

Do you have any idea? There will be any IOS patch for this issue in the near future?

Thanks

iPhone 11, iOS 15

Hi Guys,

It seems the iOS 16 has resolved this issue for me. I tried today morning and every album cover were visible on car multimedia display via BT. (tried with Spotify)

I hope the next upgrade won't crash it again ...... :)

Very disappointed. Version 15.6 final is out and no fix. No one cares.

Really so! Update 15.6 doesn’t fix the matter… Hey @Apple Do you read it sometimes?

So it's been over a month since this topic started and no word from some official Apple support staff. Really, what's the purpose of this forum? I wonder.
