Download using cellular

Question

In android app i have disabled download using cellular, but when I have wifi turned off as soon as I change spotify from offline to online it starts downloading.

Is there something I can do about this? I have seen similar question from 2019 with no answer that would help me

Hey @goofix,

Thanks for the reply.

When you mark a playlist to be downloaded for offline listening, the app will attempt to re-download all such playlists every time you connect to a network, if you've been offline.

If you've disabled download using cellular, this will happen only when you're connected to a WiFi.

There is no way to stop this, as the app tries to automatically download the latest version of a playlist.

Hope this clears things up.

Hi,

This does not help I am afraid.

When I change from offline to online with wifi disabled spotify starts to dowload the songs I have marked before should be downloaded.

I am not playing music so it is not streaming.

The issue basically is that before I leave for the weekend I download the songs I want, go offline and even when marked as oflline spotify is somewhat online and some of the downloaded songs in playlists get removed.

Then when I go online for example I found a song, want to add it to a playlist so I don't forget it, it starts downloading even if it shouldn't.

That is the issue and has been for a long time so it is not the last version and it's been the same on 3 different phones.
