Is your Autoplay Feature Not Working on Spotify? Try this Fix!

While listening to Spotify, users encounter an issue where their autoplay stops working. This typically occurs due to issues with autoplay settings or a slow internet connection, which is required to load new songs in Spotify. 

Additionally, problems with the application, such as cached data or corrupted song files, can be a cause. Power-saving mode on mobile devices can also be the cause of this problem.

In this article, we will solve this problem using different solutions.

1. Check Network Connection

An internet connection is essential to use the autoplay feature on Spotify, especially if you have not downloaded the songs, which is a premium feature in Spotify.

If your internet is disconnected or slow, it can cause issues while autoplaying songs. You can check internet speed at Speedtest or Fast.

2. Check Autoplay Setting

If your autoplay settings are off, it will stop the autoplay feature from working. Checking the settings will verify if the feature is on or not, ensuring it is not causing the problem. 

  1. Open Spotify and click on the profile icon on top.
  2. Click on Settings.
  3. Turn on Autoplay if it’s not.

3. Update Spotify

An outdated version of Spotify can cause disruption in the proper working of the application. Updating the app to the latest version will ensure there is no issue with the application, as there are many changes in the newer versions.

  1. Open Playstore and search Spotify.
  2. Hit the Update button.

4. Turn Off Power Saving Mode

If the power-saving mode is enabled, it can stop the application from working properly as power-saving mode limits background applications’ usage. Turning off the power-saving mode will allow Spotify to run in the background, which can help in solving this problem.

  1. Open Settings and search for Power Saving.
  2. Toggle it OFF if it is on.

5. Clear Cache and Data

Temporary cache in the Spotify app can cause issues. Clearing App Data and Cache removes all the temporary or previous data and cache, resolving temporary bugs, and allowing the autoplay feature to work properly.

Note: This will remove your account data, so you need to remember your account credentials for this.

  1. Hold the Spotify icon and click on the info icon.
  2. Go to Storage.
  3. Click on Clear Data and Clear Cache.

6. Reinstall Spotify

If none of the solutions work, consider reinstalling the app. Reinstalling will remove all the previous files and install a fresh version of the application, which will likely help in solving this problem.
