The Spotify app on your iPhone is a great way to listen to music on the go. You don’t have to download songs to your iPhone to listen to them (though you can if you want to), the music library is very large, and the data usage is pretty minimal for an app that is always streaming content from the Internet.
But your playlists won’t last forever, which means that the app might eventually go silent if there isn’t any music left to play. It only takes a few steps to select another playlist and start the music back up again, but if you are listening through Bluetooth headphones, are working out, or are otherwise in a situation where you might not be able to reach your phone, then you might be looking for a way to get Spotify to autoplay once your playlist is over. Fortunately this is an option on your iPhone, and you can continue below to see how to enable autoplay in Spotify.
How to Continue Playing Music After a Playlist Ends in Spotify on an iPhone
The steps in this article were performed on an iPhone 7 Plus, in iOS 10.3.1. Once you have completed these steps the Spotify iPhone app will automatically select music to continue playing after your currently selected playlist or album has finished playing. If you don’t think you need to listen to a playlist again, you can delete that playlist and make the menu a little easier to navigate.
Step 1: Open the Spotify app.
Step 2: Tap the My Library button at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Step 3: Touch the gear icon at the top-right corner of the screen.
Step 4: Select the Playback option.
Step 5: Scroll down and tap the button to the right of Autoplay. You will have enabled the setting when there is green shading around the button. I have turned on Autoplay in the picture below.
