Spotify places the blame on Apple.

    When an iPhone user presses their physical volume rocker, Spotify will display a notification that says “Want to change the volume?”

    So it sees the button press but won’t change the volume? That seems really dumb.

      Spotify blames the change on Apple, saying the company won’t give it access to the same technology that lets Apple Music play on third-party devices. As a result, controlling volume with the iPhone’s physical toggle has “become unstable” for connected devices, causing volume to spike during playback and other bugs. Spotify says the change will result in “persistent, high-quality” volume control. The Sonos app has also stoppedletting iPhone users change the volume of their devices using physical buttons for similar reasons.

        I believe Spotify here, from personal experience, the os suddenly decides to spike the keyboard clicking sounds to maximum volume out of the blue without playing any other audio at the time.
