Hey guys

Premium user here.

I've recently switched from iPhone to Android (Google pixel 3 to be exact) and I keep experiencing this issue where other apps constantly interrupt and pause my Spotify?

For example, when I watch Snapchat videos it will pause my Spotify music in the background when on iPhone I had the option to just put my phone on silent and watch the video without noise unless I turned the volume up during the video playback. When I scroll through Instagram, the same thing happens. Every time I scroll past a video it plays with sound and interrupts Spotify. Every time I try to turn media on silent it turns Spotify to silent (no volume) as well.

This is really frustrating me. I've done a lot of research and found a handful of users out there experiencing the same issue but can't seem to find an answer.

I have only just returned to Spotify after using Apple music for years (I left Spotify due to a bad experience but now that I'm back on Android I thought I'd give it another shot) and it hasn't been as faith-restoring as I thought it'd be.. am I just Android illiterate? Please help!!
