Spotify offline mode not playing downloaded songs
Spotify downloads need to be kept on your phone or computer. If you don't have space or the app wasn't logged in when you downloaded them, they won't play. Delete some other files to free up space, then try downloading the songs again while connected to the internet.
Spotify stores downloaded songs on your device so you can play them without using data. But those downloads need storage space and a working Spotify account to unlock. If your phone is full or if you've been offline too long, Spotify forgets your account is premium and won't let downloads play. Freeing up space and refreshing your login fixes this.
- ✓Check how much storage space is left on your phone or computer
- ✓Look for a download icon next to songs in your Spotify library. If they have a checkmark, they're downloaded
- ✓Turn off WiFi and mobile data to test if offline mode actually works
