Are you experiencing rapid battery drain on your Pixel phone while using the Spotify app? You’re not alone. Spotify users have reported significant battery usage and overheating issues when using the app on their Pixel devices. Here’s what you need to know:

– One user reported that after just 4 minutes of screen time and 4 hours and 44 minutes of background activity, Spotify drained a whopping 38% of their Pixel 8 Pro’s battery. The phone also felt warm to the touch for several hours after installing the app.

– Another user mentioned that streaming from a Spotify rival, Audible, consumed only 10% of the battery life over an equivalent amount of time on a Pixel 3a compared to Spotify.

If you’re facing similar issues, here are some steps you can take to address the problem:

– Try a rapid reinstall by going to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Spotify, and then tap Uninstall. Afterward, go to Google Play and reinstall the Spotify app.

– If that doesn’t work, try a clean reinstall by following these directions: Go to your phone’s Settings > Apps > Spotify, tap Storage/Storage & cache memory, find and tap Clear storage and Clear cache. Then return to the previous screen and tap Uninstall. In your phone’s Files (or File Manager), go to Internal Storage>Android>data and delete the com.spotify.music folder if it exists. If you’re using an SD card, go to SD Card>Android>data and delete the com.spotify.music folder if it exists. Restart your device and reinstall the Spotify app from Google Play.

Additionally, make sure your Pixel is running on the latest version of Android and that Battery Saver is disabled when using Spotify.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, consider trying another music streaming app as an alternative until a solution is found.

We hope these tips help improve your experience with Spotify on your Pixel device!
