Why Does My Spotify Keep Pausing with My AirPods?

Not being able to enjoy your favorite music while you chat with friends is the worst. I know how annoying it can get, as I faced this issue myself a few months ago. This issue is quite common amongst users but isn’t normal in any way.

One of the most frustrating things that can happen while using Spotify with AirPods is when the music pauses every time you switch to another app or device. You may have noticed that whenever you’re listening to songs on Spotify, and you switch over to Discord to chat with your friends, Spotify gets paused. This can be really annoying, especially if you were in the middle of a great song.

So, why does this happen? Well, there are several reasons why your Spotify might keep pausing when using AirPods. One possible reason is interference from other devices or objects in your surroundings. If possible, move to a different place-in particular, move away from places with many people or a lot of Wi-Fi activity, poorly shielded cables, microwave ovens, and wireless speakers (or turn off the oven or speaker). This can help reduce interference and improve the connection between your AirPods and your device.

Another reason why Spotify might pause when using AirPods is because of obstructions between your device and your headphones. Keep your iPhone or other device close to you, so that no obstructions, like walls or floors, are between you and your device. If your headphones maintain their connection without distortion during this test, then here are a couple of things that can help in other situations:

Or tap the Download button to download the song. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes. Then play a song that does not have the Download button next to it. On a Mac with macOS Catalina, open the Music app. On your iOS or Android device, open the Music app. Your headphones might lose their connection more often with streaming audio than with content that is stored on your device.

Another possible reason why Spotify keeps pausing when using AirPods is because of a weak Bluetooth signal. Your headphones communicate using Bluetooth, and a Bluetooth signal can be interfered with or weakened in some situations. With your device within a few feet of you, try to listen to music or other audio content that is stored on your device-not streamed-with your headphones. This can help improve the connection and reduce pausing.

In summary, there are several reasons why Spotify might keep pausing when using AirPods, including interference from other devices, obstructions between your device and headphones, and a weak Bluetooth signal. By moving to a different place, keeping your device close, and trying to listen to stored content, you can help reduce or eliminate the issue of pausing music on Spotify with AirPods.
