Part 6. How to Fix Spotify Not Playing through Bluetooth

If you're having trouble getting Spotify to play through your Bluetooth devices, don't worry - there are a few simple steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue. Let's go through some common fixes to get your music streaming again.

Here are some general steps to resolve Spotify not playing through Bluetooth:

1. Make sure your devices are within range, ideally within 1 meter (3ft) of each other for a stable connection.
2. Some devices only allow one Bluetooth connection at a time. Try disconnecting other Bluetooth devices to free up the connection.
3. In the settings of your device with the Spotify app, ensure that Bluetooth allows media sharing. This setting might be located in the Bluetooth or App settings.
4. Make sure both your phone or Bluetooth source device and the Bluetooth device (speakers, headphones, etc.) have sufficient battery power.

If the issue persists, try re-pairing your devices. Here's how:

Step 1Delete Previous Device Information

Go to your device's Bluetooth settings. Look for the option to "Forget" or "Unpair" the Bluetooth device you're having trouble with. This action removes the previous connection information.

Step 2Turn Bluetooth Off and On

On both your phone and the Bluetooth device, switch Bluetooth off, then back on. This helps reset the Bluetooth connection.

Step 3Re-Establish the Connection

Reconnect your phone or Bluetooth source device to the Bluetooth device. Follow the pairing steps as you did when initially setting up the connection.
