If you’re using this feature for the first time, then here you will be asked to link your account with the Android clock app. For that, you need to tap Connect.

Once both the apps are linked, you can choose an album or playlist from the songs you have played recently. Apart from that, you can also browser playlist recommended by Spotify or search for a particular track.

To confirm everything is working properly, you need to head over to the Alarm section. Here, you will see the Spotify icon instead of bell icon accompanied by the name of the playlist. If you see the same settings as in the screenshots attached above, then all is good.

Apart from that, if you want to check the songs on the playlist before making a selection; then you can also do that. Tap on the Three dots icon next to the playlist and select Open in Spotify.

Spotify Sleep Timer on Android

In the meantime, Spotify has integrated the function into the Android app. The detour via additional apps like Sleep Timer (music off) is no longer necessary. However, here you will find other practical functions such as extending the sleep time by shaking the device.

● Open Spotify and start the desired song.

● Tap the button with the three dots in the upper right corner.

● Scroll down and you will find the option 'Sleeptimer'.

● You can then select the desired time period.

● You can stop playback after the selected time or after the current song.

● Spotify will then automatically stop playback at the desired time.

Spotify Sleep Timer on iOS

On the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, you don't need an additional application. Apple has already integrated a Sleep Timer, but it is a bit hidden:

● First open the 'Clock' app.

● Switch to the 'Timer' category below.

● Tap on 'Timer end' in the middle.

● Activate the 'Stop playback' option at the bottom.

● Tap on 'Set' in the upper right corner.

● Now select the desired time and tap the 'Start' button.

● As soon as the timer has expired, the music in Spotify is stopped.

Spotify Sleep Timer on Windows

There is also no timer function integrated in the Spotify software for Windows. But here, too, there are several possibilities.

● The easiest way to do this is with an additional program. SleepTimer Ultimate simply shuts down your computer after the desired time.

● Alternatively, you can do without software and give Windows the command itself.
