My Question or Issue

Ever since Spotify patched to 8.4.99, if the spotify app is open on my phone and active enough for iOS to display the media controls on my lockscreen, when I turn off my screen Spotify automatically starts playing music. The only way to turn off my screen without Spotify automatically starting playback is to force close Spotify first.

I’m getting that error too but not just on Spotify. I think it’s on the iOS 12.2 update. Maybe? 

No, the Music and Podcast app works normally. There is another topic with the same issue: https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Spotify-plays-when-I-lock-iPhone/td-p/4720931/page/...

Same issues for me with recent updates. 

I started with this issues today after yesterday i did the update to iOS 12.2, before that never had this problem.
