Why are you getting ads on Spotify Premium?

I found those reasons that do not let Spotify users enjoy high-quality music and other exclusive features without ad breaks. Check out the reasons given below:

Premium Plan Subscription Expired

It may be possible that the premium plan that you have purchased for enjoying add free playback and high audio quality has expired.

Therefore, you are experiencing ads during your playlists. Confirm the expiry date of your premium plan subscription.

See whether you have enabled the ad blockers on your Spotify app or not. If you have enabled the ad blockers, you will face this technical issue of ads interference despite purchasing the premium subscription.

Technical glitches

It may be possible that your Spotify premium account is facing technical glitches. You can’t do anything with them. Hence, be patient until the team of Spotify resolves the server glitches.

Regional Interference

The advertising policies are impacted by the regional guidelines. Check your region’s guidelines for ads.

It may be possible that some types of ads should be shown during the programs. Therefore, your Spotify app has been streaming them despite you having premium plan.

It may be possible that you are getting the ads of promotional content of the Spotify app. Sometimes the Spotify app promotes its products, services, and new offers.

These contents are aired during the playlists. You can disable them by going to the app settings.

Furthermore, if the owner of the family plan includes more members in the premium plan, this can happen.
