**Summary:**

* * *

1. **Regulatory Complaint**  
Spotify accuses Apple of breaching European Digital Markets Act regulations by removing the feature that allowed iPhone users to control volume for connected devices via physical buttons.

2. **New Workaround**  
With the change, Spotify iOS users must now use the in-app volume slider on Spotify Connect, instead of their iPhone’s physical volume buttons.

3. **Limited Impact**  
The issue only affects Spotify Connect on iOS; volume control via Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Android remains unaffected.
