How to set a sleep timer in the Spotify Android app?
Before Spotify implemented this feature people had to use third-party apps which were not quite so effective and many complained that music used to keep on playing even after the preset time and it was a complete nightmare for most.
But now since a sleep timer has been included by Spotify in the app, you don’t need to worry anymore as it works properly and shuts down the music on the preset time. Here is how you can set a sleep timer in the Spotify Android app –
- Open the Spotify app and then play the song or the podcast you want to listen to.
- Then tap on the three dots menu button in the top right corner like shown below.
- A list of options will slide up, swipe up and find the option ‘Sleep Timer’ and then tap on it.
- Then different interval of times will be listed and you can set the time after which you want the music to shut down. There are smaller time frames like 10 mins or 30 mins or even longer time frames like 45 mins or 1 hour. So when the timer ends the music will stop playing. Also in case you are listening to a podcast and want to listen to it completely to the end, then just select the ‘End of track‘ option and Spotify will shut off after the podcast has finished playing.
- Done! Your music now will turn off after your determined time.
