Can T Log Into Spotify

This is a classic: an app stops working correctly, so you hit the home button and open the app again thinking: “I restarted the app but this didn’t fix the problem”… But the truth is that iOS on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch handles multiple apps running at the same time (multitasking) by saving the app state every time you switch to another app or get back to the main screen hitting the home button.

In order to really close an app and remove the “suspended state” it gets into when you click the home button, you need to follow one of the following processes.

Switch off your device… and then back on

The simplest way is to shut down your device and start it up again. In order to really switch off your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, you need to push and keep pressed the standby button until the screen goes black and the “swipe to shutdown” bar appears. Then, you need to swipe and wait for the device to completely turn off. To startup the device again, just press the standby button again.

All apps will still be sitting in the multitasking tray as if they were running, but reality is that all processes got killed and no suspended states will be in your way until you start each app once again.

This process is a very good way to make memory intensive apps responsive again (especially games) since it will also clean up the device RAM.

Quit apps from the multitasking tray

Hit the home button once to get to the main screen.
Hit the home button twice to show the multitasking tray (on the iPad you can, alternatively, swipe up with 4 fingers)
Tap and keep your finger on any app icon in the tray until the red badges appear and the icons start “dancing”
Now tap on the red badge for any of the apps you want to close. Please note: this action will not remove the app from your device. You’re just “killing” it so you can remove the “suspended state” and restart it.
Tap anywhere outside the tray to close it (or, alternatively, hit the home button once — on the iPad, you can also swipe down with 4 fingers).

Force restart

If your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch looks “dead”, don’t panic. Just press and keep pressed the standby button AND the home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds (usually 5 seconds are enough). If you’re not in bad luck, your device will restart itself and everything will be back to normal (whew!).

If you’re tired of Spotify, or are switching to an alternative to Spotify like Apple Music or Google Play Music, then you’ll need to cancel your subscription to Spotify if you pay for it. If you don’t, and you just want to delete your account, you’ll need to contact Spotify customer service directly. But before you make any decisions, there are a few things you need to know about deleting your Spotify account – primarily, that there is very little incentive to do so because of their “Forever Free” service.

IMPORTANT: Don’t end up paying more for Spotify

If you pay for Spotify Premium, you need to cancel your subscription before closing your account. Deleting your account will not cancel your billing, and you will continue to be charged until you cancel the actual account. Jump down here to learn how.

If you want to get the low down on everything you need to know about deleting Spotify, or cancelling your Spotify subscription, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’ll break down:

Let’s get started with the most important things you should know before you delete or cancel Spotify.

What you need to know before deleting your Spotify account

There are many downsides to actually deleting Spotify, and very few upsides – so think carefully before you make this decision. All of the following will apply if you delete your Spotify account:

You can’t ever use your username on Spotify again – even if you sign up in the future, that username won’t be available anymore.
You will lose your playlists – there is no way to recover this saved information.
You will lose followers – if you have any followers, they will be gone forever.
You will lose everything in library – any saved songs won’t be kept for you.
They have a free forever plan – a plan you never have to pay for, but it saves all of the above information, so there’s little upside to actually deleting your account, even if you cancel your subscription.
You have to wait to get the student discount again – if you signed up using the student discount, you need to wait 12 months to apply for it again (you can sign up again, but you won’t get the discount).
It is impossible to delete Spotify on mobile – you must do it in a web browser at Spotify.com.
You must cancel first before deleting – if you have a paid subscription to Spotify, you must cancel that first and then delete your account.
The only way to permanently delete the account is to contact customer service – there is no button you can tap or click to actually close your account – all you can do yourself is delete the app on your mobile device – but it won’t close your account.

Remember that once you actually delete Spotify, you can’t get any of your Spotify features and saved settings back – even if you sign up for it again immediately, 5 minutes later. You can however just end your subscription and stop paying rather than closing your account, which we recommend you do. However, we’ll show you how to do both below.

How to cancel your Spotify subscription

There are two ways to cancel your subscription to Spotify. This is the main, and easier, way:

Go to Spotify.com and log into your account.
In the top-right, click Profile, and then click Account in the drop-down.
Click Manage Plan.
Click Change or Cancel.
Click Cancel Premium.
Click Yes, Cancel.
Confirm the date your account will revert to the free version of Spotify.

If you want another method, or have trouble doing the above, you can also fill out this form, and send it attached to an email to breakup@spotify.com. Someone from Spotify customer service will contact you to confirm you want to cancel your subscription.

Once this is done, if you still want to actually delete your account, this is a different process. Here’s how to get it done.

How to delete your Spotify account (in a web browser)

Go to this Spotify close account link and sign in.
Select Account from the available options.
Click I Want to Close My Account Permanently.
Review the information about what you’ll lose, and click the black Close Account
Confirm that the account is closed on the next screen.

And that’s how you cancel and delete Spotify. If you’re looking for something similar to Spotify, we’d recommend you check out Pandora.com. We even have a free course with step-by-step tutorials on how to use Pandora here.
