Locking phone stops Spotify playing

[PersonalNadir]

I'm currently playing over bluetooth on iOS 7 and Spotify 3.9.0.1054. When I lock my phone Spotify fades out and stops playing. Pressing the play button on the locked screen does nothing.

Hi there. I've moved your post to the iOS board, because there may well be others who had this problem and can help you.

Also:

• Have you tried updating your iOS?
• What iPhone are you on?
• Does it happen only with Spotify?
• Does it still happen after you restart your phone?

If your phone has a battery saving option, you might want to turn that off if its on and then try using spotify while locked to see if it worked. That was the issue with mine and when i turned it off it was solved. Im running off of a Galaxy S7 tho...
