My Question or Issue

I've checked the battery saving settings, I've cleared the cache and data. I've force closed and reopened. I've turned off the setting to shut off Spotify when it's running in the background. Nothing has helped. This just started today.

Hey @smkouma,

Thanks for reaching out to us about this and for trying those steps already.

Could you try a clean reinstall of the app following the steps in this support article?

If that doesn't work, do you mind just double-checking that Data Saver is disabled within the Spotify app as well as on the device itself?

Keep us posted 🙂
