How to Fix Spotify Starts Playing on smartpone

Is Spotify constantly playing music on your phone without your consent? Don't worry, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll walk you through some simple steps to prevent Spotify from automatically playing music and help you regain control of your listening experience.

Turn off Autoplay in the Spotify app:

Autoplay is a feature in the Spotify app that automatically starts playing music when you open the app or finish listening to a playlist. To turn off Autoplay, follow these steps:

- Open the Spotify app on your smartphone.

- Tap on "Settings" or "Settings and privacy" (depending on your device).

- Look for the "Autoplay" option and toggle it off.

By disabling Autoplay, you prevent Spotify from automatically playing music whenever you open the app.

Disconnect unwanted devices from Spotify Connect:

Spotify Connect allows you to play music on different devices using the same Spotify account. However, if you have unwanted devices connected to Spotify Connect, they might trigger playback unintentionally. Here's how to remove those devices:

- Open the Spotify app.

- Tap on the "Devices Available" icon (usually located at the bottom left).

- Check the list of connected devices and remove any that you don't want to use with Spotify.

By disconnecting unwanted devices, you ensure that only the devices you want to use with Spotify can control the playback.

Check Bluetooth devices:

Sometimes, Spotify may start playing music automatically when your phone connects to a Bluetooth device. To prevent this, follow these steps:

- Go to your phone's settings.

- Look for "Bluetooth" settings and tap on it.

- Ensure that there are no unwanted Bluetooth devices connected to your phone that might trigger Spotify playback unintentionally.

By reviewing and disconnecting unwanted Bluetooth devices, you eliminate any potential triggers for Spotify to start playing music automatically.

Review your alarms:

If you have set alarms on your phone that play music using Spotify as their default media source, it can lead to unwanted music playback. To fix this, follow these steps:

- Open your phone's clock or alarm app.

- Check if any alarms are set to play music using Spotify.

- If so, modify or delete those alarms accordingly.

By ensuring that your alarms are not set to play music through Spotify, you prevent any unexpected music playback.

Adjust Android Auto settings:

Android Auto is a feature that connects your phone to your car's infotainment system. If you have Android Auto installed on your smartphone, it may automatically start playing Spotify when connected to your car. Here's how to disable this feature:

- Open the Android Auto app on your smartphone (if installed).

- Tap on the three horizontal lines (menu) icon.

- Select "Settings" and look for the Spotify integration option.

- Disable automatic playback when connected to a car's infotainment system.

By disabling automatic playback in Android Auto, you regain control over when Spotify starts playing music in your car.

Disable Apple CarPlay (for iPhone users):

If you're an iPhone user and experiencing Spotify automatically playing music when connected to your car's infotainment system via Apple CarPlay, follow these steps to disable it:

- Go to your iPhone's settings.

- Scroll down and tap on "Screen Time".

- Tap on "Content & Privacy Restrictions".

- Select "Allowed Apps" and disable "CarPlay".

By disabling Apple CarPlay, you prevent Spotify from automatically playing music when connected to your car.

Having Spotify automatically play music on your phone without your consent can be frustrating. However, by following the steps outlined in this guide, you can regain control over your listening experience. Remember to disable Autoplay, disconnect unwanted devices from Spotify Connect, review Bluetooth settings, check and modify alarms, adjust Android Auto settings, and disable Apple CarPlay if necessary. With these adjustments, you'll be able to enjoy Spotify without any unexpected music playback.
