Spotify is crashing all over the world, but the solution is very simple: do it and forget about blocks

Have you noticed strange things on Spotify over the past few weeks? Don’t worry, there is nothing wrong with your mobile phone. Even on your Internet. Everything indicates that the service is experiencing global outages on thousands of devices. Cause? It is completely unknown, but it is known that the team is already trying to solve it as soon as possible. Nevertheless, no approximate date so that this error stops appearing in the music application.

What’s happening? Apparently Spotify randomly crashes and freezes on some Android phones. The glitch, we read on Reddit, is most commonly reported on Samsung and Pixel phones, although more devices from other brands are affected. In some cases, the blockages are so persistent that They prevent you from using the application normally.

In our case, we’ve been playing Spotify for the past weeks on multiple Android devices. but we have never failed. Even on a Samsung mobile phone. Now, while this doesn’t seem to be a widespread bug around the world, there are enough complaints to determine that many users are having serious problems using the service.

Luckily, there is a solution to put an end to these Spotify problems.

The community’s work has paid off. On forums like Reddit, they were able to isolate the glitch by making it clear that it only occurs when Spotify is played over a Wi-Fi network. If the device is connected to mobile data, all errors and crashes disappear.So the temporary solution seems obvious: leave the Wi-Fi connection aside if you want to listen to music using Spotify.

If you don’t have unlimited data speeds, you might not like this too much, but we have good news for you: in Spotify settings, you can adjust the audio quality over mobile data, being able to choose the lowest so that costs are as low as possible. This is very easy to do.

• Log in to Spotify and click on your profile icon.
• Go to Settings & Privacy.
• Find the Media Content Quality option.
• Select Low under Mobile Data Streaming Quality.

That’s it, Spotify music will play in much worse quality, but at least you’ll be able to use the service while the Wi-Fi issue is fixed. FYI and in case you need to do the math, this configuration consumes approx. 100 MB data for every hour of listening.
