Spotify's Android app crashes persist while lossless audio expands for users. The issue mainly affects Samsung and Pixel devices on Wi-Fi.
Android App Instability
Over the past weeks, Android users report that Spotify app is freezing or crashing. This primarily impacts Samsung and Google Pixel devices. The problem appears linked to specific Wi-Fi networks. Mobile data connections remain unaffected.
Some suspect Chromecast-ready devices may be causing instability in the app. Spotify acknowledges the issue and is working on a fix, though no timeline is confirmed.
Lossless Audio Rollout
Spotify’s new lossless audio feature promises richer sound for premium users. The rollout is reaching more devices, including Sonos speakers. While audiophiles notice the difference, Android app issues mar the experience for some.
- Spotify's lossless audio targets high fidelity.
- Premium subscribers gain access over time.
- Rollout doesn't appear tied directly to crashes.
Temporary Workarounds
For now, users can switch to mobile data or offline mode to avoid crashes. This workaround helps maintain uninterrupted music streaming.
