Spotify Connect is no longer supported on your device

If your device shows the message "No longer works with Spotify," its built-in Spotify Connect connection is no longer supported. You may still be able to listen on it using Bluetooth, AirPlay, or an audio cable.

Why support is ending

Some older devices use outdated technology to connect and stream from Spotify that no longer meets our security standards. We're ending support for these connections to reduce security risks and help protect Spotify and the content available on our service.

Note: This doesn't affect your Spotify account or any other devices you use with Spotify.

Other ways to listen on your device

With these options, Spotify plays on your phone, tablet, or computer, which sends the audio to your speaker or sound system. Available connections vary by model - check your device's manual or the manufacturer's support website if you're unsure which options it supports.

• Bluetooth

  If your device supports Bluetooth audio:

  1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, tablet, or computer.
  2. Put your speaker or sound system into Bluetooth pairing mode.
  3. Select it in your phone, tablet, or computer's Bluetooth settings.
  4. Open Spotify and play something.

  Tip: Check out Get help connecting with Bluetooth if you run into issues pairing your device.

• AirPlay

  If your device supports AirPlay, you can send audio from a compatible Apple device:

  1. Connect your Apple device and your speaker or sound system to the same WiFi network.
  2. Open Spotify and play something.
  3. Open the audio output controls on your Apple device and select your speaker or sound system using AirPlay.

• Audio cable

  If your device has an AUX or other analog audio input:

  1. Connect your phone, tablet, or computer's audio output to that input using a compatible cable. You may need an adapter.
  2. Select the matching input on your speaker or sound system.
  3. Open Spotify and play something.

Can a software update restore Spotify Connect?

Check with your device's manufacturer to see whether an update is available that supports Spotify's current connection requirements. An update may not be available for every model - if your device can't be updated, try one of the alternative connections above.

None of these options work with my device

Contact your device's manufacturer for help checking its connections and compatibility. You can also keep listening through Spotify on your phone, tablet, computer, or another supported device.
