All this tech is supposed to make life easier! Why must they complicate things? But I guess checking your settings is the first step. Just wish it was more intuitive!
Haha, seriously! Tech is supposed to enhance our lives, not play hide and seek with our music apps! Let’s keep troubleshooting together!
I totally get your frustration! My Pandora used to turn on by itself all the time. It was usually due to a Bluetooth connection with my car. I ended up disabling Bluetooth and that solved the issue!
Same here! I realized my phone was picking up signals from my smart home devices. Removing those connections helped a lot!

Interesting! I never considered that. My Pandora was just randomly starting when I was at home. It turned out that ‘Hey Siri’ was triggering it by mistake. I had to tweak the settings.
Wow, I had no idea that could happen! I’d definitely check that feature because I use Siri a lot too.

I thought I was the only one! I tried resetting my app, and it surprisingly fixed the random play issues. Worth a shot if you haven’t tried it yet.

Great tip! I’ll definitely give that a go if I encounter any more issues. Thanks for sharing!
This may sound silly, but check to see if you’ve got any rogue apps running in the background. Sometimes they can interfere and cause Pandora to misbehave!
I’ve experienced that too, user ‘carterjacob’. It’s annoying when apps fight for control. Ending those background tasks can make a big difference.
I seriously thought I was losing my mind when Pandora would start playing while I was trying to sleep. Turns out my dog’s collar was triggering it! 
Check your surroundings.
Haha, ‘tberry’, that’s hilarious! I guess our pets can be more tech-savvy than we realize. If it’s not the tech, it could just be a glitch on their end too.
