Garmin Rolls Out Beta 23.34 for Fenix 8, Adding Voice Commands and Spotify Fixes

Summary
Beta 23.34 brings four notable changes to Garmin’s 23.xx test branch, led by voice commands activated with the “OK Garmin” wake word.
Two of the fixes target Spotify problems: one addresses playback issues after skipping tracks with paired Bluetooth headphones, and another prevents shutdowns when switching playlists.
The update also fixes a potential shutdown during HIIT activity, extending the beta beyond the minor unspecified fixes Garmin listed for Beta 23.32.
Garmin has issued several recent Fenix 8-family updates even after launching the newer Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro, but it has not said when Beta 23.34 will move to the stable software branch.
