What happens if I cancel Spotify Premium?
Once you cancel Spotify Premium, your account is switched back free, meaning you no longer pay for the services provided under Premium.
All your playlists and saved music will remain on your account but you will now play audio with ads. Additionally, you will no longer have unlimited skips while streaming.
You can no longer download audio to listen offline, without Wi-Fi. The audio quality is also not as high when your account is free, in comparison to Premium quality.
Group listening also is not available to free listeners.
