Hi, there,



When my iPhone 7plus was running iOS 11 beta 2 I noticed a cool feature that I cant no longer replicate after phone updated to beta 3 and now beta 4 within a week.

I did not take a screenshot, but I will try to describe it:

1. I had about 8 running apps including spotify, waze connected to cars stereo through bluetooth on so on and I was driving;

2. So at one stop I double click home button to open multitaskting and I saw a spotify overlay just underneath the windows which show the opened apps/recents stating that spotify is connected to my car stereo.

3. So eventhough running spotify app was at the very end (8 opened app) i could directly get to spotify by simply clicking this shortcut/spotify overlay which was right under the opened apps and when scrolling in between them it stayed on.



any ideas how to get it back or i was just lucky to find a feature that is not yet fully public? :)

That's usually there for either handoff or (Siri/proactive) suggestion type of purposes.
