My Question or Issue

App just decides to switch back to internal storage, which really annoying on a phone with only 10GB storage. When the app does this, I can not switch back to external, because the option is just gone. Restarting the app is not enough to get the option back, but I have to restart my entire phone.

This issue has persisted since I first started using Spotify and is not exclusive to this phone. I am tired of this problem existing since 2016 and nobody doing anything about it. The "solution" given in a previous thread (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Spotify-keeps-automatically-switching-downloads-to-internal...

does not work. It can also not be, that this is impossible to do correctly, since this has never been a problem with the Netflix app. The devs at Spotify simply have to do better!
Since I want this fixed, I am willing to put in a little time and try to get logs from my device using ADB, if they exist.
