Spotify is a music streaming service that has been around for a while now. It’s free to use and has a lot of different music options. One of its features is that it can play music offline. This means that you can listen to your favorite songs without having to have an internet connection. However, some people have been reporting that their iPhones are not being able to keep up with the demand for Spotify playlists. They say that the service is constantly loading new playlists and it’s taking a long time for them to start playing any of them. This has caused some people to question whether or not Spotify is using up their iPhone’s battery life. There are several ways to test this out. You can try playing one of Spotify’s playlists on your phone while it’s plugged in, but if you experience any problems then you can try unplugging it and plugging it back in again. You can also try streaming some of your favorite songs from your computer or even from your home computer if you have an internet connection available. If you’re still having trouble then you might want to reach out to Spotify and see if there are any solutions or changes they could make so that their users are not experiencing these problems.
The internet is filled with reports of Spotify draining iPhone batteries. For whatever reason, Spotify on iOS 14.8 and iOS 15 is sucking down batteries and causing problems for lots of users.
You can browse Reddit and Twitter and see all sorts of complaints from users about what Spotify is doing to their iPhone’s battery life. The issue has become so widespread that Spotify has been forced to comment on it:
If you think your iPhone might be suffering from battery issues, you can check to see which apps are sucking down the most juice. Head to the Settings app, then tap “Battery.” Give your phone a few seconds to load the data, and you’ll see how much battery each app is using.
Aside from trying restarting and/or a clean reinstall of the app, it’d be great if you’d give disabling Background App Refresh a shot: this could be found under Settings -> General -> Background App Refresh.
Thanks! We’ll keep you posted and let you know as soon as we have any updates on this.
When you check the data, if you notice Spotify seems abnormally high, you can follow the advice from Spotify to turn off Background App Refresh to help save some battery until Spotify has a fix.
Hopefully, Spotify gets an update out soon, as the app tends to see quite a bit of use on iPhones, and having it drain battery excessively could turn a lot of users away.
