Apple CarPlay no longer skipping songs, only fast forward or rewind.

I have followed your advice and left feedback. Something I normally wouldn’t bother doing but I cannot believe that someone thinks people would prefer this to being able to skip a full track. I literally can’t get my head round how this change was allowed.

Make sure you leave feedback in the App - The developers need to know how this affects us. You click on your picture (top right) from the home screen, and "Help and Feedback" at the bottom...

I am sure there are others that are googling this as we did to try and work out why their usage has been so frustratingly impacted.

I literally got a new car last night with Carplay for the first time, happily using YouTube music and skipping songs driving it home. Went to work today and can only skip forward 30 seconds or back 10 seconds, thought I was going crazy all the way to work. I can see zero reason why people would want this if its a choice between the two options. Hope this changes back ASAP.

So this changes is made by YT then? They really do make unnecessary updates huh.

We still can’t scroll through playlist and they choose to remove the skip button. What are they thinking really?

I spoke to YouTube as they wrote the app I use for music. They released an update with this “feature” and note it will not work for everyone…

so it’s not a setting… so now I have to find another app… again…

It also doesn't work with Apple AirPods double tap, or "Hey Siri, skip this song". It's something that changes how the system interprets skipping music. It skips 30 seconds rather than the full song. It's frustrating. However, on my iPad which I manage the updates manually, (and haven't update YT Music in months), it works as expected. It's clearly something that Google did.

But I did the same thing y'all are and sent the feedback.

But from now on, I will manage the updates on my iPhone.

I just hope it's a mishap rather than something intentional. There's no way someone thought this was better, plus the system controls inside the YT app still work the same. I'm pretty sure it's a mishap.

Someone beat me to it, but it’s true… YT just released an update with the original functionality back…

I am sure they just saw the folly of their ways, but perhaps we had something to do with it.

thanks to all!!

I have the exact same thing in my Audi SQ5… up until my drive home tonight it skipped songs… now +30 seconds…

I see the appeal of both, but I like my skip for how I use my music… if anyone spots how to switch between them please share… I’m hoping it’s an option somewhere

youtube just released another update and now I have the old skip feature back again.
