Very high data usage

[daveb1]

Well, I have read in this topic that Spotify uses about 2,4MB per minute.That's about 144mb per hour, which is fine. 

Today I drove about 30 minutes to work and 45 minutes back and listned to Spotify on max. quallity. My data usage? 790MB! How is this possible for only 75 minutes of streaming?

Same here, began happening 1-2 months ago, time to drop premium as playing downloaded songs only still seems to eat data. It was good while it lasted Spotify!

Hey there folks,

Thanks for posting about this here in the Community!

You can have different settings for listening online (Streaming quality). You can find more info about the different options in this support site article.

Keep in mind that the higher the stream quality, the more data will be used. 

You can reduce your data usage by toggling on Data Saver from the app's settings on your mobile device. To find out how you can do this, along with other tips, we'd recommend taking a look at this support site article.

Hope this helps clarify things! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a shout.

Have a lovely day 🙂
