Why does Spotify app show up in lower left corner when I plug my earpods in?

Thanks -- I found that if I went to those "widgets" after pulling down from the homesreen, then scrolling to bottom and hitting "edit" I could hit the red negative button to the right of Suri's suggestion of Spotify, and then delete it. The small Spotify app no longer shows up on my home screen after putting my earpods in! yay!

I didn't delete the app, only the little icon that showed up on the bottom left of my screen. I didn't need to see it every time I plugged my earpods in. Sometimes I listen to Slacker instead of Spotify lol! Speaking of Spotify, you may know the answer to this question about Spotify ... ever since i updated to the 10.3.1 version i get a pop up window when I click on the Slacker App asking me to: Turn on Bluetooth to allow "Slacker Radio" to connect to accessories" - but, the thing is, I don't have any accessories to connect to! Sberman, does that happen to you? I spoke with the team at Slacker, and they haven't changed the app, it's only been since I updated to the 10.3.1 version!

You're right - the pop-up does annoy me, mostly because I think it shouldn't be popping up! It wasn't there before I upgraded to the newest software version. I just thought there would/should be a setting somewhere that would allow me to toggle a switch to let either the Slacker App or iOS know that I don't have an accessory that I want connected through Bluetooth! It is true as you suggest that turning on the Bluetooth feature will stop the pop up from appearing. But, I still think it shouldn't be popping up! It's a mystery to me why upgrading to the new version of iOS would cause this to happen! Thank you sberman for trying to help with your recommendations and suggestions. I do appreciate it! If you or someone reading this thread has a solution, I would love to hear it! Thanks!
