Fix Spotify Constantly Buffering or Lagging Issues
Music that keeps pausing to reload mid-song is not Spotify being careless with your subscription. High quality audio needs a constant trickle of data, and one internet connection that dips even briefly leaves Spotify with nothing left to play. Weak Wi-Fi at home does this, and so does a thin cellular signal on the bus.
Speedify is an app that combines Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, wired Ethernet, Starlink and other internet connections into one steadier internet connection, so Spotify keeps receiving audio when one of them dips. With only one connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and cannot stop that connection from dropping. The section below explains why Spotify songs buffer, and what changes about your listening once you use Speedify.
How to Stop Spotify Buffering with Speedify
- Download Speedify on your iPhone or Android phone.
- Open Speedify and create a free account (the free tier includes 5 GB per month), or sign in.
- Keep Wi-Fi on and turn on 4G/5G cellular too, so Speedify has two internet connections to work with.
- Connect. Speedify uses both connections at once and moves your traffic to the working one when one drops.
- Open Spotify and play your music as usual.
Why Spotify Keeps Buffering
Spotify buffering means the next part of the song has not arrived in time. High quality audio needs a steady flow of data, and Spotify’s higher audio quality settings need more of it. Try the quick fixes first: check whether Spotify is down on a status site such as Downdetector, update the app, and lower the streaming quality in Spotify’s audio quality settings when the signal is weak. With Spotify Premium, you can also download playlists and listen offline.
It is the lack of bandwidth that causes the Spotify buffering. Your phone connects to the internet over 4G/5G cellular or Wi-Fi, one at a time, and when that one connection is slow or unreliable, the buffering gets worse. The same is true when Pandora keeps buffering.
Change the Way You Listen to Spotify and Avoid Buffering
Your mobile device is actually capable of a much better connection than you are getting from just Wi-Fi or just 4G/5G cellular. The Speedify app unlocks your device’s full potential.
Speedify allows your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular simultaneously, and combines these separate connections into a single, stronger connection.
You get increased bandwidth and a more stable connection. That means you can successfully avoid Spotify buffering. So, when you click on a channel, you get music, not a spinning wheel.
Speedify is available on iOS and Android, and on Windows, macOS and Linux computers, so you can run it on your laptop too.
How Speedify Keeps Spotify Playing When a Connection Drops
Speedify works to give you a faster, more reliable Internet experience and helps you avoid Spotify buffering. Speedify does much more than combine your Internet connections: it also improves the reliability and the security of your connection.
Speedify works in the background on your device carefully monitoring your signal strength. If one of your connections becomes unstable or goes down, Speedify keeps you connected to the internet and automatically reroutes all the data through the remaining connection. Once the down connection is available again, Speedify will start utilizing it again.
You don’t have to do anything. You may not even notice anything has changed. You will be enjoying your Spotify channels.
Speedify is also a next-generation mobile VPN. This means that it is continuously encrypting your data and masking your IP address. This keeps you safe from hackers and snoops. You protect your mobile device from compromised public Wi-Fi networks.
Unlike other VPNs, Speedify can add speed instead of slowing you down when it has two or more internet connections to combine; on a single connection, Speedify works as an encrypted VPN and can be a little slower.
You don’t have to worry as much about Spotify buffering. You can browse the web without worrying about thieves, and with two connections you stay connected when one drops.
If you love Spotify, you will enjoy it even more when you use it with Speedify. Get started with Speedify today for FREE: the free tier includes 5 GB per month with a free account.
