Spotify playing across multiple devices at same time - do not want

My Question or Issue

I have Spotify loaded on the above devices. My S7 is my work phone and my Note 8 is my personal phone.

When I play Spotify on the desktop, it activates and plays on both the Note 8 and the S7. Doing this drains the battery on both phones, even though I am using the desktop as the only player at the time, and hearing the S7 just start playing in the other room while I am working can be a bit un-nerving. It is worse if one of the phones connects to my secondary network and is not on the same network my desktop or other phone is on.

How do I shut this off or stop it? I have read 2 different threads {here and here} and both threads are marked "solved", but apparently the issue is not "solved". I am experiencing the issue and the "solutions" are "it was fixed in the update". Apparently not.

Hey @vader7071 thanks for reaching out to the Spotify Community,

If you can, try restarting your device, that can sometimes make a world of difference. I would also recommend trying a clean reinstall Spotify onto your device. Finally, if none of those work try clearing your cache and data by following these steps (On your phone):

Step 1: Head to the Settings menu.
Step 2: Find Apps (or Applications, depending on your device) in the menu, then locate the app that you want to clear the cache or data for.
Step 3: Tap on Storage and the buttons for clearing the cache and app data will become available.

Here is a picture and video to help with that.

Also try downloading the windows store version of Spotify, that version seems to be less buggy.

Best,

Jack 🙂
