Spotify++ has been the go-to hacked app for all Spotify users for quite some time now. Unfortunately, the music streaming service is now beginning to roll out strict countermeasures against pirates who make use of illegal modifications.

Spotify++ blocked from accessing premium features
As you already know, Spotify is the most popular music streaming service. Just like other online services, they, too, rely on paid users to generate revenue.
Some users, however, like to avail premium features of the service without shelling out a dime. This really hurts their profits and puts a dent in their bottom line.
Following the footsteps of Snapchat, Spotify has targeted pirates and hacked app distributors.
They have successfully detected pirates and are dispatching warning emails to each one of them.
Once their security mechanism detects abnormal activity, it revokes access to the stock app.
Here’s an automated email that a user received.
Dear user
We detected abnormal activity on the app you are using so we have disabled it. Don’t worry – your Spotify account is safe.
Are Apple devices being targeted?
Interestingly, they are only targeting Android users that are running modified versions.
For the uninitiated, Spotify++ is available for Google’s Android operating system as well.
Thanks to Julio’s genius, Apple devices have quietly sneaked past the radar. Julio’s Spotilife Cydia tweak, which forms an integral part of Spotify++, bypasses their security checks in real-time.
Despite all these modifications, they have still managed to patch the 7-day premium trial trick on AppValley’s Spotify++.
How to bypass Spotify’s DRM
This, of course, doesn’t mean other versions are now blocked from accessing the premium features.
- All you need to do is install TweakBox on your device and install its version of Spotify++.
- You can also run AppValley’s version provided Spotilife is installed on your device.
As the music giant starts tightening the noose, it’s only a matter of time that all Julio’s tweak will be completely patched.

It’s for those who don’t have a jailbreak.
Spotilife is a tweak for jailbroken devices. do you mean:
Spotilife isn’t working on iOS 11
Yes.
Guys I don’t think it’s right I heard cydia is something that contains viruses and he said their using that and I also used Spotify++ but 2/3 months later my phone started lagging freezing and started having these red green n purple horizontal and vertical lines but I’m not sure if it’s from this
Cydia is not a virus and it’s completely safe to use. Which source did you download this tweak from?
Hi , sorry noob here, how do I get the jailbreak version of Spotify? Do I download the official spoiltify from the App Store then download a tweak sepretley ?
Yes, that’s how it is done but Spotilife isn’t working on iOS 11 properly as far as I know.
honestly, don’t know what you mean by it not working been using it since my first Electra jailbreak before Cydia manually installed it and its been working flawlessly no issues I have an iPhone x ios 11.1.2 Electra beta 1.0.4 now
