Stopping Spotify Audio from Autoplaying
Spotify, like a chatty friend, loves to surprise you with music, but sometimes you just want to take control and put the brakes on. Autoplaying audio can be a blessing, but also a curse, especially when you’re in the middle of an important task or trying to focus. So, let’s explore how to stop Spotify audio from autoplaying and regain control over your listening experience.
Disable Autoplay on Devices
