My Question or Issue

I rarely listen to music on Spotify, but when I do, an ad plays after every single song! It’a been like this for months now.

Hey @MusicallyInclined, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

I am sorry to hear that. I’d recommend a clean reinstall of the app following these steps and let me know if this still occurs afterward. If you’re on Spotify Free, you may hear advertisements but you should rarely hear it after every single song.

Keep me posted.

That worked! Thanks!

I don't want to hear any ads at all.  We pay for Premium.  This is why.  Please stop the ads.

Hey @hyphywyfy,

Thanks for your post. You should not hear ads when listening to music if you’re on Premium. However, if this is happening when you’re listening to podcasts - Spotify doesn’t play ads that interrupt the music listening experience but some podcasts may include advertising, host-read endorsements, or sponsorship messages. There’s more info about this here.

I hope this helps. I'll be here if you need a hand with anything else!

I’m paying for premium and getting ads and I’m not listening to podcast… just a playlist of songs

Hey @dannybayshore, 

Thanks for your post. Please try following the steps I have provided in my earlier reply here. If that doesn’t work, can you send me a screenshot of where you’re seeing this ad? Make sure to hide sensitive info when posting to the Community. 

Keep me posted on how that goes.
