How to get rid of Spotify ads on Android


"The amount of ads I'm getting are increasing. There's like at least three ads in between every song I listen to. I can't even listen to ten songs in a row without getting interrupted. I take the bus to school with Spotify on and the whole time I'm literally listening to ads. At least let me listen to 15 songs without being interrupted. And I'm really not looking forward to buying the premium."

Many people complain that Spotify free on Android has too many ads. Is there any other ways to block Spotify ads without premium? Well, you can download Spotify songs, albums, playlists and podcasts to mp3 and then play them with other Android music player.

2. Spotify Web Player + Ad Blocker

Use the Spotify Web Player on your browser with an ad blocker (like AdGuard or uBlock Origin) to block ads.

AdGuard is a powerful ad blocker and online privacy protection tool for various platforms: Windows, Android, Mac, iOS. You can easily find and install it from Huawei Store, Xiaomi Store and Samsung Store. However, it is not available in Google Play. The alternative is to download apk from official website and install it on your Android device.

AdGuard works well on the Spotify web player because it blocks pop-up and banner ads just like any other website. However, it can't directly control the Spotify mobile apps to block ads because those apps use a different structure that isn't usually easy to manipulate by third-party tools like AdGuard.

AdGuard is also available as free browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Android Samsung and Yandex browsers.

Similar extensions include Blockify, Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin, etc.

3. Use Spotify MOD APK

Using the Spotify MOD APK (Modified APK) is a way for some users to bypass ads and unlock Spotify's premium features for free.The MOD APK is a modified version of the official app that allows access to the following features without paying:

Ad-free experience: Skip ads and enjoy uninterrupted music.

Play on Demand: Play songs in any order. Skip tracks as you wish.

While you can find Spotify MOD APKs on third-party websites or forums, we would strongly advise against downloading any APK from untrusted sources.

The safe way to get Spotify MOD APK is from xManager. xManager is an Android app that lets you manage and install different versions of the Spotify app. You don't need to visit any external links to download the required packages, as the platform lets you install your favorite version as soon as you browse.

However, many people report account being banned for using Spotify MOD APK.

4. Use VPN

Instead of installing a standalone ad blocker, try a VPN with built-in ad blocking, such as NordVPN, Surfshark, etc.
