1. Force Close Spotify and Re-Open It
Force closing the app and relaunching it eliminates several temporary problems. In case Spotify is stuck or not letting you scroll the list of songs or use the controls, it is advisable to quit and re-open it.
2. Check Your Internet Connectivity
Secondly, verify that your iPhone has an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. For this, open the Settings app and tap on Wi-Fi. Tap on an available network to connect to it. Similarly, inside the Settings app, tap on Cellular and see to it that the toggle for Cellular Data is enabled. On this screen, let’s further ensure that mobile data isn’t disabled specifically for Spotify. To check this, scroll down the ‘CELLULAR DATA’ section and make sure Spotify’s toggle is enabled. After performing one or both the above steps, open Safari and visit a webpage, if it loads, that means the device has working internet connectivity. In case you are facing issues with Wi-Fi or Cellular data, check our detailed guide that helps you solve these.
