What breaks Spotify connection

Spotify can disconnect if the audio connection is interrupted. Common causes include:

  • No internet connection.

  • Incoming phone calls (Spotify usually resumes automatically, but it can occasionally fail). If calls matter to you overnight, set a Focus mode that silences non-important calls and allows only priority contacts.

  • Another app starts playing audio after our alarm is active (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, meditation apps, etc.).

  • Focus modes (Do Not Disturb, Sleep) not configured to allow our app. Add Alarmify to your allowed apps in those modes.

  • Other alarms playing before ours.

Essentially anything that plays audio (interrupting our audio playback) while our alarm is active.

If the Spotify connection breaks for any reason, we’ll automatically play the backup alarm so you still wake up.
