There is a way to make Spotify play in the background while using other apps on both iPhone and Android devices. I’ll provide instructions for both platforms.
For iPhone users:
1. Power on your iPhone and go to the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Apps” or “Application Manager” (this may vary depending on your iOS version).
3. In the list of apps, locate Spotify and tap on it.
4. Look for the option that says “Background App Refresh” and make sure it is enabled.
5. Now, go back to the main Settings screen and tap on “Battery.”
6. Under the “Battery” section, locate “Battery Saver” or “Low Power Mode” and make sure it is turned off.
7. If you have a newer iOS version, you may need to tap on “Battery Health” and disable the “Optimized Battery Charging” feature.
8. restart your iPhone and open Spotify. Play a song and then switch to another app. You should now be able to hear the music playing in the background.
For Android users:
1. Power on your Android phone and go to the Settings app.
2. Look for the option called “Apps” or “Applications” and tap on it.
3. In the list of apps, locate Spotify and tap on it.
4. On the app info page, look for the option called “Battery” or “Battery usage.” Tap on it.
5. Depending on your Android version, you may see options like “Battery optimization” or “Battery saver.” Tap on it.
6. In the list of apps, find Spotify and tap on it.
7. Select “Don’t optimize” or “No restrictions” to allow Spotify to run in the background.
8. Go back to the main Settings screen and search for “Data usage” or “Data saver.” Tap on it.
9. Make sure that Spotify is allowed to use background data by disabling any restrictions or turning off data saver mode.
10. Now, restart your Android phone and open Spotify. Play a song and switch to another app. You should now be able to continue listening to music in the background.
I hope these instructions help you keep Spotify playing in the background on your iPhone or Android device. Enjoy your music!
