My Question or Issue
Hello!
I got myself my first iPhone in June, and I've been having a problem with Spotify ever since, although recently I've started to listen to it more regularly on the iPhone than I did before so it has been bugging me more than before.
I always like to have my music on in the background, often for many hours, and after what I was listening to ends, I keep it on autoplay. However, when using the app on my iPhone, it will often stop playing at some point. It will only happen with autoplay - so what I was listening to has ended, then autoplay starts playing, it keeps playing for a few hours and then stops. - If, at this point, I tap play again, it will start off from the beginning, that is, the first song that it played after switching to autoplay, and then will play again until exactly when it stopped.
Curiously, if, after that thing with autoplay happens, I'll play whatever I was listening to initially and it ends, the autoplay won't start at all. It often won't even if I will play something else. Restarting the app doesn't help, not even restarting the phone does, the only thing that does help of what I've tried is logging in and back again, after restarting the app.
This problem only happens on iOS, I don't experience it at all on my Windows computer.
It is quite distracting so it does bug me, and I like my music to be continuous, and also I'm just curious what may be causing such a weird thing.
Thank you in advance for any help or tips as for how I can deal with this. 🙂
Hi there @mysticsorrow,
Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!
This could be caused by several thing, so we'd need to carry out some troubleshooting to get to the root of the issue.
We'd recommend you try the following:
Keep us posted on how you get on with this 🙂
Hey @mysticsorrow,
Thanks for getting back to us 🙂
It's important to make sure that the router supports the Bonjour Network Protocol. In case the router is made after 2005, it's possible that it has this protocol.
It's a good idea to check with the manufacturer to make sure that the router supports it.
Just to double-check - does the issue persist with another account? We'll look into this further.
Keep us posted! If you have questions, you know where to find us.
