Spotify switching to other devices

Spotify switching to other devices

I am using a free trial of spotify premium (thanks starbucks!) Yet I noticed that whenever I'm driving and listening to spotify on my Samsung s7 randomly the playback device switches over to someone else. So I could be listening to Nirvana and all of a sudden the music either stops playing all together bc it's supposedly playing on anether device or the music I'm listening to will switch over to whatever device has been picked up. Right now spotify is playing music by some Italian singer when a minute ago it was Drake, and now even as I write this it's playing something by Siam? I really don't underst and what's going on. It doesn't happen when I'm at home, just when I'm driving. And I've trI'd to make my acct private but nothings working. Can someone please help me with this?

Hello @Angelfaye101, Welcome to the Community!
The cause of the random changing track could be someone else is using your account. But don't worry. Here are some steps to solve this issue:
1a. If your Spotify account is created through Facebook, change your password here: https://m.facebook.com/settings/account/?password
1b. Else, change your password here: https://www.spotify.com/account/change-password/
2. Click the "Sign out everywhere" button here: https://www.spotify.com/account/overview
3. Log back in with your changed password.
Let me know if this solves your issue.
Cheers,
Vincent
