My Question or Issue

As of recently, whenever I switch between my phone and google home mini or vice versa, whatever playlist I am listening to starts back from the beginning. This happens on regular playlists, a song radio, daily mix etc. It used to pick up where it left off, so it seems like something changed recently.

Hi there @chessami92,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community and welcome!

For staters, we recommend reinstalling the Spotify on your device with these steps to check if that helps. You can also try unlinking your Spotify account from your Google speaker and linking it again using these steps.

On another note, you mention this happening with multiple playlists, does it happen with every playlist? It's also a good idea to check if you observe the same behavior when the devices are connected to a different network. A mobile hotspot is usually a convenient way to test this.

Lastly, this is simple, but try rebooting your speaker. You can find the steps to do so on this article from Google Support.

Let us know how that goes.
