Android app starts automatically

Android app starts automatically

With a subjectively increasing frequency, the Spotify app (with premium account) starts itself w/o any action from myself. It just shows the inital screen and even plays no music. It occurs mostly when unlocking the phone, but also while I'm using other apps, which also causes data loss (of unsaved inputs) because it forces itself to the front ... Sometimes it also occurs a few seconds after I've just closed it. This is super annoying and starts to p*** me off a lot.
I first experienced this behavior months ago on my Galaxy S6 (Android 6) I assume after I have updated the app. It is still present and seems to occur more often on my Galaxy S8 (Android 7). I have installed the Spotify Apps also on a Windows machine and my Samsung Gear S2, but recently I rarely use them. And of course, I have reinstalled the app, restarted the devices and changed the internet connection in these past months.
I would really appreciate a solution before I'm forced to unsubscribe. 😠

Same issue here..

This sounds similar to the existing thread here. Better to keep the same issue in one place.

I have deinstalled the App on my Gear S2 and the issue seems to be "solved" by this. But the solution cannot be to deinstall an app of a service you repeatedly pay for ...

Why is Spotify not providing a feedback form for bugs like these. The only solution I see is to give the app a one rating, because then ... and only then ... Spotify employees will react.

Also: the difference to the other mentioned topic is that it is not an isolated case on the S8. It also occurred on the S6. 😉

I have the same isue.. i got a gear s3 and both on my s8+ and s6+ the app keeps opening at random.. 

Same in Moto x
