Can't skip songs or pause when screen is locked

Can't skip songs or pause when screen is locked

When my screen is locked, when I click to wake it up and press skip/pause it doesnt do anything. This also happens when I unlock my screen and drag the top bar down. I actually have to go into the app to be able to change songs and pause etc. 

This never used to be a problem before now, I always used to be able to skip songs and pause from the lock screen.

Hey there @Emilyjk94

 

Thank for reaching out! 

 

Just to check with you - are you still experiencing this issue? If so, have you tried any troubleshooting steps such as:

 

  • clean reinstall
  • restarting the device
  • allowing all permissions for Spotify: Mobile Settings> Apps> Spotify> Permissions. Allow everything you see there.

If that does not help, let us know your OS and Spotify version. 

 

Keep us posted!
