1# Force Close Spotify And Relaunch
Force-closing and relaunching the app fixes a number of temporary difficulties. If Spotify is stuck or won’t let you move through the music list or use the controls, it’s best to close and restart it.

2# Check Your Internet
Ensure that your iPhone or iPad is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or cellular data. To do this, go to the Settings app and select Wi-Fi. To connect to an available network, tap on it. Similarly, in the Settings app, go to Cellular and make sure the Cellular Data toggle is turned on. Let’s double-check that mobile data isn’t turned off for Spotify on this screen. Scroll down to the ‘CELLULAR DATA’ area and confirm that Spotify’s toggle is turned on. Open Safari and view a webpage after completing one or both of the preceding steps; if it loads, the device has internet connectivity.

8# Reset All Settings
Updates are made with good intentions in mind. But there are some inescapable elements that can cause them to have undesirable consequences. Some updates are designed to change system settings on their own. If this happens, it’s possible that some functionalities or programmes will become incompatible. Resetting system settings can help clean this up.
From the Home screen, go to Settings.
- Select General.
- Scroll down to Reset and tap it.
- From the list of options, choose Reset all settings.
- To continue, enter your device passcode if prompted.
- Then, to confirm the system settings reset, tap the option.
Resetting all of your iPhone’s settings clears the current system settings and replaces them with the default or original values. After the device has been reset, you can customise it and just enable the functionality you require. Unlike a factory reset, this has no effect on any saved data on the internal memory.
Hopefully, the above mentioned steps will help solve the problems you have been facing with Spotify on your iPhone or iPad.
