Spotify Tap does not work
If you are experiencing issues where Spotify Tap does not work with your device, please try these steps:
Ensure Spotify Tap is enabled
Ensure Spotify Tap is enabled on your device. See Using Spotify Tap for more information.
If using Android, be sure to enable Nearby Devices permission for the Spotify App

- Put the speaker into pairing mode
- Scan for new Bluetooth devices on your mobile device and reconnect your speaker. For more information, see Connecting a Bluetooth® device
Clear your Bose product memory of previously-connected Bluetooth® devices.
Your Bose product remembers the last several devices it connected to so it can quickly reconnect to them. In case there is an issue with the device memory, clear it and then try to reconnect the device. For more information, see Clearing the product memory of paired Bluetooth devices and Connecting a Bluetooth device.
On the Bluetooth® device, remove all entries of your Bose product from the Bluetooth menu. Then, try connecting again.
In the Bluetooth menu of the Bluetooth device, you'll find a list of Bluetooth products that have been previously connected. Your Bose product might show up one or more times in the list (i.e. it might be listed a second time with "LE-" in the name). Select each entry for your product and remove it by selecting Forget, Unpair, Delete or something similar. After, try connecting again. For more information, see Connecting a Bluetooth device.
Reboot the Bluetooth® device.
Electronics, such as cell phones, tablets or computers, might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. This is typically done by turning the device off, then powering it on again.
