Hi indev13, can you provide more detail on this? 

- What iPhone/iOS are you using?

- Do you have a premium subscription?

- Are you using any fitness tracking apps or other background tasks on your phone?

 

Kind Regards,

Hi Indev13,

Did yuo have any luck with your problem?

So with a similar problem I had. I made sure to close all other apps in my phone and then I restarted my phone and it seemed to work again. If it doesn’t try deleting the app and re-downloading it?

Hi! Sounded to me like an under-the-hood problem with Apple's auto detection features (the pop-up below the multi-task view when you plug in your headphones). If Sportify is the last running service it should stay working. I would imagine even plugging in your headphones, opening spotify and closing it before re-opening it to run should ensure this never happens! Hope this helps. 

 

P.S. I doubrt the problem is the Spotify app itself so I'll keep looking online for you!
