Troubleshooting for Spotify Linked to BeReal

Your Spotify account could fail linking to your BeReal account for several reasons. Your internet service could be problematic, you may need to update your app, or the BeReal server could be down. Try the solutions below if you’re having trouble linking your Spotify account to BeReal.

Check Your Internet Service

Most issues with linking Spotify to BeReal stem from using an unreliable internet service. Try these steps to see if the internet is an issue and to fix it:

1. Open a website from your mobile browser to see if it loads; if it doesn’t, you’ll know that your internet connection is the cause of your issue.
   
2. Try switching to Wi-Fi if you’re using cellular data, or vice versa, to see if that makes a difference.
   
3. Reboot your Wi-Fi router.
   
4. Switch airplane mode on your mobile for a minute, then switch it off.
   

Restart BeReal

If the BeReal app is giving errors or malfunctioning, force close and restart it. Here are the general instructions for Android:

1. Go to Settings.
   
2. Open Apps and then “Manage Apps.”
   
3. Find BeReal.
   
4. Press “Force stop.”
   
5. Confirm the choice.
   

For iOS, there isn’t a dedicated option, so just swipe the app off away in the switcher.

Sign Out, Then Sign In

If you’re having trouble syncing your Spotify account to your BeReal account, try signing out of BeReal, then signing back in again. To do this:

1. Tap on your “Account.”
   
2. Select the three-dot menu.
   
3. Click on “Log Out.”
   
4. Confirm, then sign in again.
   

Clear BeReal’s Cache

Sometimes BeReal could be having issues because you need to clear its cache. Clearing an application’s cache can help it function more optimally. iPhone doesn’t provide an easy way to clear the cache. You’d have to uninstall and then reinstall the app. In Android, clear the cache by doing this:

1. Go to “Settings.”
   
2. Select “Apps.”
   
3. Go into your BeReal app.
   
4. Choose “Storage usage.”
   
5. Tap on “Clear Cache.”
   
6. Then tap on “Clear data.”
   

Restart Your Phone

Most applications function better after restarting your phone, which flushes out any software issues.

Reinstall the BeReal Application

Reinstalling the BeReal application will ensure you’re using the latest version and flush out corrupted data, which could solve many Spotify-related issues.

Check if BeReal Has Online Issues

If your Spotify account is giving errors when connecting it to BeReal, BeReal’s online service could be temporarily experiencing challenges. Search online to see if other users have reported service issues, then check later to see if the service is restored.

Switch Off Any VPN

If you’re using a VPN service on your mobile and having issues with Spotify working in BeReal, try switching it off and refreshing your network to see if that fixes the problem.
