After every song plays it stops

[Smallworld]

Every time I'm trying to listen to music the app on my phone doesn't continue to the next song automatically.
A song would finish and then silence. I have to go into the app and press the pause button then play again to start the music again. It becomes frustrating and boring very quickly as I have to stop what I'm doing every couple of minutes to open the app or unlock my phone to keep my music playing.

I always have a strong connection to the Internet and have never had issues until recently.

Which Android version has your phone? Is your energy-saving mode turned on or do you use battery saver apps on your phone?

I had a similar problem some time ago, because the energy-saving mode on Android (6.0 and onward) puts the most apps into sleep mode, when the phone is inactive. Some "high-priority" apps like WhatApp are excluded from this sleep mode. Probably Spotify wasn't recognized as one of those apps and it stopped playing music like you explained. When I stopped the energy-saving mode, everything was back to normal and I had no problems with playing music on Spotify.

So, if you use a power-saver, try to turn it off. Maybe it works 🙂
