Hi there, and thanks for writing.

The most common cause for Facebook stopping Spotify's playback is the auto-play of videos on Facebook. However, other causes can trigger this issue. Cached files can randomly trigger this glitch, as can providing Facebook camera access and other possible triggers.

So, my first suggestion is that you check if the video auto-play is enable on your Facebook app. If it is, just disable and let me know if it works!

My auto play is disabled and this still happens.

It worked but I needed to force close both apps (Facebook & Spotify) for the settings to take effect.

I had this exact problem right now. For me, it was solved by simply turning the Facebook app off and on again.

Are you using lossless on Spotify? Same happened to me and it only stopped once I turned lossless off

Every time this happens I exit the Facebook app and restarts it and the problem is gone until the next time a video with sound f**ks it up.
