Spotify-connect and battery drain on IOS

[Graurk]

When I use spotify connect,  battery is draining a lot. 

I think that it due to music is reading on the phone and on the connected spotify device together : I hear music on the connected spotify device and  on the speaker of my phone (very slow volume)

Spotify: 8.4.42.724

IPhone SE with IOS 11.2.6

I do not hear music on my phone playing, however battery drains quickly with spotify connect. And yes I too suspect that remote feature that keeps the iphone controls active

Forcing the app to quit helps.

Hey!

I'd think it's because the remote controls are active on your phone. What you can try is the following: 

1. Open settings in the Spotify-app.
2. Go to devices
3. Turn off "lockscreen..."

Does this help?

Without lockscreen battery is no drain but it doesn't solved the problem.

If I connect spotify to a chromecast with lockscreen activated there are no battery drain. So I think that spotify-connect could work as fine as google cast but  it doesn't.
