Google Maps has removed in-app music playback controls for some Android users.

The feature that allowed control over streaming services like YouTube Music and Spotify is nowhere to be seen in the latest app version.

It's unclear if this is a bug or an intentional removal since it's still available on the iOS version.

Google has noted that it is aware of the missing playback controls on the Maps app after the recent update. A Google spokesperson reached out to Android Central, stating, "We’re actively working to fix an issue that is affecting media playback controls on Google Maps."

We all know that Google Maps is one of the most popular navigation apps, be it on Android phones and iOS handsets, allowing users to connect to their favorite music streaming apps like YouTube Music and Spotify for easy access while navigating. The handy controls gave users the ability to play/pause music and skip or go to previous tracks. Having the music playback controls while navigating is one such convenience that Maps offers, which surprisingly has gone missing in the latest update.

9to5Google now finds that the handy controls, normally found under the Navigation settings of the Maps app, have seemingly been removed, along with the toggle to “Show media playback controls.”
