What’s the worst thing you can think of while using Spotify on your phone? Probably the battery draining issue. Many Spotify users report that the Spotify app on their phones is draining the battery out of no reason.
So in the following parts, I’m going to show you how to fix Spotify draining battery issue with some common solution and an ultimate guide to solve the problem forever.
Fixes to Spotify Battery Drain Issue
Why does Spotify drain battery on your device? Well, it depends. The reason may come out of your phone or the Spotify app. So let’s troubleshoot them separately.
1. Restart Your Phone
Your phone can’t always run on maximum performance without switching off for a while. Just turn your phone off a bit and reboot it, magic may happen.
2. Check Your Phone Battery Usage
Before you try to solve the problem on Spotify, you’d better check out if your phone battery is in good standing.
1. Go to Settings > Battery & Performance > Battery Usage Stats.
2. See how the apps on your phone are consuming your phone battery. If there’re other apps that are using a lot of battery on your phone, you can turn it off and don’t let it run in the background.
3. Check Your Phone Battery Life
The easiest way to check how much of the battery still remain on your phone is to observe the charging time. If the phone charges much faster than before to finish, then the battery might not have much left. You can consider changing your phone battery on the local store.

If your phone battery is still okay, the problem may come from the Spotify app. And here’re some of the solutions to keep Spotify from draining battery.
1. Reinstall the Spotify App
If you’re using Spotify for quite a long time and have never updated the app to the latest version, the app is going to be a battery hog. You can delete the app first and go to the app store to install the latest version of Spotify, or directly update your Spotify to the latest one.
2. Delete Downloaded Files
If you have downloaded a large library of songs on Spotify, each time you run Spotify, these songs may be running too. So you can delete them and see if the battery consumption goes back to normal.
3. Turn Off Spotify Connect
This may sound disappointing, but the Spotify Connect feature will drain more battery than normal and the only way to fix it is to turn it off.
