Spotify on iPhone continues playing after removing output device (f.e. headphone, airplay speaker)

I like Spotify and the built-in playlists a lot! But since one of the last version, I annoys me from time to time. Hope you can fix this!

Common situation: I stream music at home from Spotify App on iPhone to an airplay speaker.

When leaving home and losing the connection to the airplay speaker, Spotify automatically stopped playing in former versions which was great and common to other music apps on the iPhone!

Now, since one of the last updates, Spotify continues playing, f.e. on the iphone speaker, when the former speaker is no longer available, f.e. headphone or airplay speaker. Meaning, it continues playing in your pocket when leaving home.

Other music apps stop playing when you remove the audio output. Which is the known and wanted behaviour on iOS.

Another fancy thing:

1. Stream music to an airplay speaker

2. Plug in headphone, music continues on the headphone

3. Remove headphone, music continues on the airplay speaker

4. Remove airplay speaker or leave the network, music continues playing on the iPhone speaker

Ugh. 😕

The Apple Music App on iPhone for example stops playing when losing the output device (airplay, headphones, ...).

It might be a feature in the Spotify App to keep music running but please offer a setting to keep iPhone standard to stop when removing speakers.

Moreover, and this is really annoying, this new feature makes Spotify to continue playing even if the playlist has not been synchronised for offline playback. Means, it automatically eats your included cellular traffic when you leave your WiFi. :(((

Could you please fix this? Or add a setting to not continue playing music on any output device radically?

THANKS!

Hey,

this is happening for me also. It will continue playing if I make a call ( which it should stop autmatically) and also I noticed if say plug out headphones the app will have the pause logo i.e it thinks its still playing.

v4.0.0.800

Android v6.0 Build Number MRA58K

Any progress on this? My iPad was playing music for an hour in my bag before I noticed it.

I know what u mean! This is totally annoying cause I like spotify a lot beside this bug!
Just found myself in the bus with people starring at me cause spotify was still running.

@Spotify: Is there any solution for this planned?

Hi Spotify,

what's this board for if no spotify team member answers on these threads?

Any positive or negative response would be a nice gesture.

Regards,
