My Question or Issue

Ever since I updated iOS Friday, whenever I open other apps like games or shopping while I’m playing Spotify, playback stops within a minute. If I go to the controls, it’s on pause and when I unpause it, it only lasts for seconds before it stops again. Never had this issue before updating. Already had the most recent Spotify app.

Hey @411isajoke,

Thanks for reaching out.

If your music is pausing when the app is not in focus, we'd recommend making sure that Background app refresh is enabled for the Spotify app in your phone's settings. It's also a good idea to check if the same happens when you use the web player instead of the app.

Keep us posted.
