Shouldst thou find thyself grappling with the intricacies of Spotify on iOS 15, thou art not alone in thy struggles. Since the latest iPhone update hath graced us with its presence, many a user hath lamented the crashing of Spotify upon the locking of one’s phone. ‘Tis a grievous affair, for one must needs keep their phone unlocked if they wish to partake of music or podcasts.
Verily, this dilemma doth appear to stem from a power-saving glitch or mayhap an ill-fated interaction betwixt the Spotify application and the most recent iteration of iOS. Nonetheless, fret not, fair readers, for this guide shall illuminate the path to rectifying this quandary.
1. Delete the Cache
‘Tis said by some that the simple act of purging the Spotify cache doth swiftly resolve this issue, sans the need for further interventions. Ere thou venture forth with other remedies, indulge in this course of action and assess if it doth bear fruit.
From the hallowed halls of the Spotify homepage, journey to Settings > Storage and there tap upon Delete Cache. Should this endeavor prove fruitless, onwards to the next solution we must tread.
2. Delete Downloaded Podcasts and Songs
‘Twas whispered amongst the denizens that those who partake heavily of podcasts art more prone to this affliction. Indeed, the root of this malady doth lie in the frequent downloading of podcasts or songs for offline enjoyment. Shouldst thou neglect to clear these files, the issue shall stalk thee more persistently, particularly if thou art a devotee of podcasts.
To absolve thyself of this burden, make way to thy Spotify abode, visit My Library, and thereupon alight upon the Downloaded tab. Behold there all thy downloaded podcasts and songs, and cast away those thou hast already savored. In most cases, this rite shall dispel the issue.
3. Reinstall Spotify on Thy iPhone
Should the initial remedy prove ineffectual, it behooves thee to expunge the application and reinstall Spotify. This course hath proven efficacious for all who hath undertaken it. Thou mayst embark upon this quest in the customary manner, or perchance ’tis better to journey to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Spotify, and there engage in Offload App before banishing the application.
Upon completion of these tasks, reinstall Spotify and rejoice in its renewed functionality.
Preventing Future Spotify Issues
Though easily resolved, this issue may vex thee, especially whilst traversing the roads, for thou shalt be compelled to halt in order to address it. To forestall a recurrence of this tribulation, verily remember to purge downloaded songs and podcasts with regularity.
Moreover, consider setting Spotify to automatically expunge podcasts once their episodes have been played! From the sanctuary of Your Episodes, lay thine eyes upon the gear icon and tap upon Remove played episodes. Herein thou canst decree their automatic removal.
Thus shalt thou be freed from the burden of manual deletions, nevermore to fret o’er Spotify’s discord with iOS.
