What is this error?
Error 85 in Spotify indicates an issue with playback that typically occurs when the app encounters a problem connecting to the Spotify servers or accessing audio files. This can result from network issues, app glitches, or conflicts with other software on your device.
How to Fix It
- Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you are connected to the internet and that your network is stable. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data to see if that resolves the issue.
- Restart the Spotify App: Close the app completely and reopen it. This action can help refresh the connection to the servers.
- Update Spotify: Make sure you are using the latest version of the Spotify app. Check your app store for any available updates and install them.
- Clear Cache (for mobile users): Go to your device settings, find Spotify, and clear the app cache. This can resolve issues caused by corrupted files.
- Reinstall the App: Uninstall the Spotify app and then reinstall it from your app store to ensure that all files are up-to-date and properly configured.
- Check Firewall or Antivirus Settings: Sometimes, these security applications may block Spotify from connecting. Check their settings and add Spotify as an exception if necessary.
- Contact Spotify Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, visit Spotify's support page for further assistance or to report the problem directly.
