There is a lot to enjoy on Spotify<\/a>, anywhere from your favorite bands, podcasts and to discovering new things with just one simple tap or click, but even something as simple as \u201cplay\u201d can be sabotaged by unforeseen malfunctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are reading this article, chances are you\u2019ve become frustrated with the fact that whatever you are listening to, comes to a full stop in a very abrupt and unexpected way, and who wouldn\u2019t be frustrated? Imagine listening to that perfect bridge to the chorus and then just, silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if your Spotify keeps pausing and you can\u2019t find a way to solve this issue, then you\u2019re in luck because we will help you find a solution for your problem, since there may be different causes to the problem, there might be different solutions, so let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It May be a Small Issue<\/h1><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we go into all the steps and different possible solutions to solve this problem, you might want to try a few simple things that may be causing your Spotify to keep pausing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deactivate Low Power or Battery Saving Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every phone has a low-power mode or battery-saving mode that reduces background activity and other functions so that you can extend the battery life before having to charge it again. This essentially reduces phone activity, including background tasks, downloads, updates, and more, including a few functions that may alter the way some apps work like Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Accounts Active<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Check if you are sharing your account with another person and if so, check if that person is using the app at the same time when this happens both are controlling the same account which may cause unexpected pausing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Temporary Data (Spotify Cache)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a fairly quick thing you can do that won\u2019t mess up your files and it may help you fix the issue. The Cache is a folder that stores data and helps you access apps a lot faster but, these temporary files can become troublesome and may need a refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Spotify\u2019s cache is full, then it might lead the app to behave strangely, causing unexpected pauses and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to try this just go to settings, click \u201cstorage\u201d and there you will find an option to clear the cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want you can also do it from the device\u2019s settings but that is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to try something simple and effective just restart your device, this will help you solve and clear up any issues on the firmware and help install new updates when the device is back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t have anything to do with the app itself but it is one of the most common causes of unwanted pausing in Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s mainly restricted to Bluetooth headphones, there may also be something wrong with your headphone jack, in which case it might be best to purchase some new headphones or make the most out of a warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
