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.

whenever i exit spotify and go on other apps (instagram,whatsapp,mobile games etc) the music keeps stopping and i have to manually play it back. When i resume the song, u can hear it for probably 10 seconds then it stops again and it keeps going like that and im getting madder and madder each time so i just stop using spotify . I also restarted both the app and my phone and nothing seems to help.
