My Question or Issue

Spotify will stop playing anytime I lock my phone or close out of the app. It will also pause and start playing again while the app is open. Songs will also start playing extremely fast when I close out of the app and reopen it.

Hi there!

I know it sounds simple, but it's often overlooked. Could you try restarting your device? If that doesn't help, try a quick clean reinstall of the app. Just follow these steps.

If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify and the exact version of the operating system you're running?

I'll see what I can suggest next 😊
