Hearing music while playing game from AppStore

kevTSV — Sat, 02 Sep 2017 05:34:54 GMT

Hey guys,

I'd like to hear Music on my iPhone 6 while playing a game from the App Store. Unfortunately Spotify stops automatically as my phone (obviously) tries to play the sound of the game. Restarting my iPhone and just turning off the sound ingame didn't solve my issues. Anything I could do about it? Cheers, Kevin

This is a few years back, but I also have the same issue! Did you ever find a solution??

Hi there @SociallyInsufferable,

Thanks for the post.

There is no way to manage this from within the Spotify app settings, but what you can do is this:

Start the game.
Check in the game settings if you can switch sound off. It's possible in some games/ apps, but there is no option for others.
Press the Home button and start playing music from Spotify. Return to the game window.
This should work with some apps.

Hope this helps.
