My Question or Issue

Spotify keeps downloading 100s of tracks. Whenever it connects to wifi, it just updates endlessly. When I make a hotspot on a separate device, Spotify somehow manages to download 100s of tracks and my data is finished for the month.

Is there a way to force KILL Spotify offline download permissions to give a break to my data plan?

Hey @ziggy3,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

Let's start with a clean reinstall of the app to remove old caches and refresh the storage. Here is how to do it. Afterwards you can toggle off the download via cellular. It is found in the settings. This prohibits any downloads taking place via a mobile network connection.

Hope this clears things a bit.

Cheers!

The same just happened over here. Did you figure it out or does anyone have an idea what is going on?
