Whenever I use Spotify on my mac it will automatically set my iPhone volume to max cuz it is connected to the app on Mac
Very very annoying and my ears got blasted a few times because of this
any fixes?
Thanks for reaching out to the Community, @SharkyBoi!
I have always experienced this as well, so unfortunately, I believe it is the standard setting for Spotify rather than an individual issue that you alone are experiencing or that can be resolved. I have found that the best way to avoid the volume change on my phone is to close the Spotify app on my iPhone when I play on my laptop.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply @ElainaD
This is a good suggestion yet it does not fix my problem.
Even I closed the app in my phone, spotify still recognize my phone is around and whenever I pick it up I can see the song that I am playing and in max volume. Saw this on my lock screen, so problem still exist.
Having a similar issue. When I'm listening on my PC and Spotify on my phone connects (which happens spontaneously), it will change the volume in Spotify on my PC to match whatever my phone's media volume is, which is usually very low. Very annoying.
I agree with koolmonten. Combined with the fact that Spotify Connect can not be disabled, this is super annoying.
I have the same issue. I cannot believe Spotify hasn't realized how serious this issue is even someone has already posted this two years ago. Really disappointed on this!

This thread actually has a solution/workaround - if you turn off the 'Devices Lock Screen' option, you can only control volume through the spotify app, which disconnects Spotify volume from the iOS system volume.
The downside is Spotify Connect then only works when in app, so you can't control anything without doing it directly in the Spotify app.
