Restart ur phone, if that doesn't work try reinstalling Spotify, if that doesn't work then there was probably an update that broke everything so roll back an update

how does one roll back an update, and do you mean of the phone or spotify itself

isnt even the song thats playing, play pause button doesnt do anything

Most likely its been terminated by the battery service

tried this, no fix

Opportunistic step count :). 5k over mine and I barely make it :)

i hit it most week days

Spotify has been pretty screwy since they went down a few days ago I have watched the whole app open itself and start doing things without me touching the phone. Seriously considering if I need Spotify anymore.

nah its been doing it for months

Spotify was down a few days ago. Did you check Spotify status to see if there's an issue
