i have the same problem idk if this will help bc it didnt for me but try going into a private session or restarting ur device? 

Dang I got the same problem too and ive updated but it still don’t work

I have the same problem too I thought I was going crazy :0!!!! 

Same problem guys  idk what happend

Heyy this isn’t Spotify’s problem btw this is happening with everything that I use, Spotify, dolphin browser with YouTube, normal YouTube premium not working either and all music apps are not working.

 

Guys this is not Spotify’s problem this is Roblox’s for sure, youtube premium does not work, Spotify isn’t working, any music app will not work at all. I’ve tried everything I just want to let you guys know incase your having this problem

same problem 😞

I have the same problem! It used to work fine, but now all of a sudden it doesn't work. I hope there is a way to fix it because i really cant play roblox without music 😭

This has happened to me, but it seems that it depends on the game. Some games let you play spotify and some wont allow it. You will just have to find games that let you play your own audio or use a different device.

Today it started working again 🤔 im not sure if itll work for long but its working for me now!

I know how to make it work! Only works for iphone and ipad tho so basically when your on an app roblox eg. Slide that little thing at the bottom where 4-5 apps come up dont slide too much then if theres spotify logo in it drag it to the left side of ur screen now play whatever you want then then slide it left for it to not showw hope this helps:)

i did that but it pauses after a couple of seconds im not sure what to do now 😞

It’s not a glitch/bug, Roblox just doesn’t allow you to play music via other apps while in a game.

One workaround I’ve found is you can swipe down to the control center and if you had music playing, just press play again.

Yeah, Ive had this situation multiple times. However I do in fact have an iPhone 13 pro max. So I don't think its the device. This has happened twice now as well. What happens is that I'd listen to music or watch youtube while playing roblox and it works. Then one day for no reason when i hit play on either spotify or youtube it instantly turns back off, as if it prioritizes the apps sound over either spotify  or youtube. 

Forgot to mention, one time however, uninstalling roblox and reinstalling it worked, and I didn't have the problem for like 6 months. but when I tried it again today, it didn't work, so idk.

Same, I used to listen to Spotify while playing roblox but after I got a roblox update it wont work anymore. It just played for a second before pausing!!
