Spotify playback stops immediately when I open the Reddit app.

if I change screens to other apps, playback resumes immediately. If I close down Reddit app, playback resumes. Whenever Reddit is open, no Spotify playback is audible. Don’t feel like reinstalling either until it’s fixed.

Hey @mungacious,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome.

It looks like the Reddit app could be taking over the audio on your device. This behavior was already posted on Reddit by some users as it appears to be affecting other audio and video apps as well. In this case, we'd recommend checking if this happens with other apps too on your end to add your report directly with them.

If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.

It was Reddit being greedy. Reinstall Reddit fixed the issue. Thanks
