There are prospects of Apple and Spotify working together to solve the problem.

Adjusting the Spotify connect volume on an iPhone requires some workarounds.

Press the volume button, tap notification, and use the slider for volume.

Volume can also be adjusted via Now Playing or Connect Menu.

Spotify accused Apple of refusing to open up the technology to other developers.
