Spotify could soon fix a major storage issue that users have complained about for years
Users may soon be able to set a cache limit to stop filling up their phone's storage with too many temporary files.
Spotify is reportedly developing a new feature to address a long-standing storage issue for its Android app users. The feature, dubbed "Cache Limit," will enable users to set a maximum size for the temporary files the app uses to cache data.
According to the latest information from Android Authority, this new feature will provide users with a warning when they choose a lower cache limit, as it could lead to increased data usage and potentially degrade playback quality. The app will also suggest an optimal default cache size to ensure a balance between performance and storage usage.
Important to note is that users will be able to set a cache limit without impacting their already downloaded music or podcasts. The change will only affect temporary files used by the Spotify app. Spotify has been steadily working on improving various aspects of its music streaming service, including a recent announcement about separating children's music and family playlists from recommendations.
