Keep screen on while reading lyrics

Facundosuarezc — Sat, 10 Oct 2020 17:42:45 GMT

I have a pixel2 running Android 11. When I access song lyrics to sing while listening to music in "karaoke mode", I expect the phone screen to stay on, but on my mobile it keeps powering off. So I have to wake it up every 30 secs. Spotify should realize that I'm singing to lyrics and keep the screen on. Just like YouTube keeps the screen on while I watch a video. Thanks

Hi there @Facundosuarezc,

Welcome to the Community!

What we can recommend is disabling Screen timeout from your Android's Display settings. This way your screen won't turn off automatically after a certain time. Currently there is no way to keep Spotify actively on the screen as the app is primarily designed for playing music and it's not a visual oriented application.

Spotify constantly strives to improve the user experience with its features and the easiest way to achieve this is by regular app updates. That’s why we appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestion with the Community.

If you think other users might also like it, go ahead and create an idea on the relevant idea board. We always take new ideas and feedback into consideration to improve the app. Here you can read more on how ideas work.

We also suggest checking this help article for useful tips on how to submit an idea. As a heads-up, it's good to know that the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for the idea to be implemented

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Samsung is failed to catch up with technology which is why the screen goes dark in standby mode. My iPhone screen is on as long as the lyrics keep rolling with Spotify. Maybe try to extend the Android phone screen safer to 3 minutes.
