Spotify users running iOS 14.8 or iOS 15 are experiencing issues with their phone’s battery draining quickly and sometimes overheating.
5 Best Tips and Tricks to Fix Spotify Battery Drain Issue in iOS 15
The Spotify Community is experiencing overheating and heavy battery drain when using the app with iOS 14.8 or 15 installed. According to several users, Spotify’s battery level often drops much faster than usual when it is active. Some also report that their phones become extremely hot when listening to music.
Issues are also being reported across models ranging from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 12. Some users are seeing their phone’s battery drain by half due to Spotify (according to their usage data), while others say the battery is completely drained after an hour.
Spotify Community member RandomIosDude thinks the latest Spotify update is the problem. "I'm running two versions of Spotify on iOS 15. With the older version, there's no battery drain or overheating issue," RandomIosDude said.
