Music pausing instantly on iPhone?

[ibohadus-us]

Randomly, on my phone, music will just pause, and even if I click play, it'll instantly pause itself again. I have Spotify on both my phone and my laptop, and the transition normally works perfectly but it seems like it's a bug somewhere in that interaction. The only "fix" I've found is to play music on my laptop first, and then switch to my phone. Sometimes it automatically switches to my phone and keeps pausing, but if I switch back to my laptop and then manually switch to my phone it'll work again. Tried clearing cache on both, and both are up to date.

Hello, 

It seems like you’re experiencing a common issue with Spotify where music playback randomly pauses. This can be frustrating, especially when you’re expecting a seamless transition between devices. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Spotify requires a stable internet connection to stream music. If you’re on mobile data, try switching to a Wi-Fi network to see if that helps.
2. Turn Off Data Saver or Low Data Mode: These settings can interfere with streaming quality. Make sure they are turned off in your phone’s settings.
3. Adjust Audio Quality: High-quality streaming over mobile data can cause interruptions. Try setting the audio quality to a lower level or to automatic.
4. Disable In-Ear Detection for Earbuds: If you’re using earbuds, the in-ear detection feature might be causing the music to pause. Try disabling this feature in your earbuds’ settings.
5. Check for Unauthorized Access: Ensure that no one else is using your Spotify account. You can log out from all devices and change your password to secure your account.

6. Reinstall Spotify: Sometimes, a fresh installation can fix unexpected bugs. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling Spotify on your devices.

I hope my suggestion is helpful for you. If you want more details please tell me I am happy to help you.
