My Question or Issue

 For the last couple of weeks everytime I unlock my phone it pauses music from playing. I've tried reinstalling spotify, updating the phone, making sure spotify has all permissions and is not effected by battery optimisation settings as well as deleting all apps I have installed since the problem started. I have been unable to replicate the problem with the native music player.

If anyone can offer any suggestions they would be gratefully received.

Cheers
