Massive battery drain

Since last update, even if Spotify is playing in the background, still it drains 30% of battery in one hour (ios 11.4.1). If spotify is on, phone is heating massively.

 

Reinstalled the app, updated ios from 11.4 to 11.4.1 and its still the same.

 

Please update asap, this is disgraceful since I pay premium.

Hey everyone,

 

Thank you for all the info you've provided. We'd like to inform you that all identified optimizations have been deployed. You can still provide additional feedback in this thread and it will be passed on while we continuously work to improve the app.

 

Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue.

 

iPhone X (iOS 11.4.1).

Spotify 8.4.65.1218.

 

Please note that I've already tried re-installing the app to no success.

There was no battery drain on my phone prior to updating Spotify to ver. 8.4.65.1218.

Hey folks!

 

Thanks for letting us know about this. Just to confirm, are you sill experiencing the battery drain? Make sure you have the latest app update with a clean reinstall.

 

If you continue to experience the same, feel free to post here your device, model and Spotify version.

 

Cheers!

same BS here, battery drain while running in the background, even after the last update which came out a couple of days ago. Guess spotify doesn't give a sh*t

 

Nice that Tidal has a 6 month free tryout right now, giving them a go till spotify wakes up

 

don't follow any tips by so called experts recommending resetting your devices as this is clearly some fault in the app
