I've been using Spotify Premium for years and for about 3-4 weeks the app has been constantly slow. Songs take forever to load, it freezes when switching between playlists, and it's annoying even on my good WiFi. Other streaming apps run fine. Is this a Spotify issue or did I misconfigure something?
I'd save uninstalling for a last resort, check a few quick things first: clearing the cache (Settings > Storage > Clear cache) often helps more than a complete reinstall. Also try running the browser version of Spotify to see if it works smoothly - that'll tell you if it's specifically the app causing issues. One more thing: are you using multiple devices at the same time on the same account, or do you have background apps running that could be slowing down your network?
If Spotify is the only app running slow while others work smoothly, it's usually not a network issue. Try completely deleting the app and reinstalling it - sounds basic, but it helped me when some files got tangled up in the cache. Before you do that, log out and write down your login credentials. After reinstalling, it should run fast again.
If that doesn't help, check your app settings under "Storage" or "Cache" to see if huge amounts of data are stored there - sometimes junk builds up. You can also try turning off the auto-download feature if it's on. Some versions of the app also have issues with older Android or iOS versions, so check whether a system update is available. If nothing works, I'd contact support - your account could have a glitch that only they can fix.
