For this, open the Settings app and tap on Wi-Fi. Tap on an available network to connect to it.

Similarly, inside the Settings app, tap on Cellular and see to it that the toggle for Cellular Data is enabled. On this screen, let’s further ensure that mobile data isn’t disabled specifically for Spotify. To check this, scroll down the ‘CELLULAR DATA’ section and make sure Spotify’s toggle is enabled.
