Closing app music keeps playing in the background

This issue has been more than 3 years and its not fix. Am having the same issue, I have really joined Deezer but this is one fact why I have end my subscription. 

Yep, 3 years and still not fixed

last week my phone got some updates (i dont know if deezer was included) and now im facing this problem.

before the updates, when opening the app list and swiping deezer app away, music would stop as the app was closed in the process (or looked like closed).

now, music persists even after swiping the deezer app away. 

if i perform this action, i want the app to close completely, i dont want it playing on background. i want it closed, memory freed for something else, no confirmations, nothing else’happening. for playing in background, i just minimize it. 

all the other apps act liken this unless i permit them. deezer dont even ask for my preferences and havent seen a settings tab for that yet.

swiping away an app from the running apps list is a practical way to close apps fast when you need it and since deezer has no quit/close button, ive used the swiping away operation to close it., now, even that is being denied.

could you please instruct me how to proceed to get it working properly?

thank you.

Hello, 

I’m experiencing the exact same behaviuor on my Android phone (Xiaomi Mi 9T with MIUI 11). I’ve been using Deezer on my iPhone for years now, and I’m very used to closing excess applications every so often, which always immediately stopped Deezer from playing music. This immediately struck me, since after moving to Android, Deezer continues playing in the background without any way to stop it - other than starting the app again, pausing music and closing it again. There is a Deezer bar in the notification area, but it doesn’t react to button presses. Super annoying especially if I want to stop it quickly.

Thanks in advance

This has been happening for 2 years and no fix? The fact I need to go into Settings > Apps > Deezer to close this app is ridiculous. Pausing the music and closing the app in the cascade screen isn't closing it as it is still active in the background and still needs to be force stopped. Just pausing the music and hiding the app doesn't mean the app has been closed.

Hello,

On my Android (Samsung A40), the Deezer app is still playing music even when I explicitly close the app. I must reopen the app and stop the player. This is quite annoying since I'd expect the app to shut down on close. Is there a way to do this ? An option or parameter ? Thanks.

need close button on android. can,t exit.

Want to stop from background.

Hello. I am new to Deezer but have been streaming Spotify for years. When you close Spotify  by swiping it off the screen, the music stops. Same with Tidal. Why is Deezer not doing this? I should not have to force stop the app to stop it from playing mujsic. Very annoying. So much so, I lasted just 4 days with Deezer before cancelling my trial subscription. Please fix and I will return.

3 years and still a problem.seriously! Its 2021. You should be able to close the app, by now. Deezer needs to catch up to the rest of the tech world. Even though a free app, I will be listening to music witha different provider.

Is this still not fixed?

I'm having the same problem, the app is still playing when I close it.

Are the Devs just incompetent or have you hired some developers who used to make ransomware?

They will not awnser that question. I had to go through a lot just to be able to join with the same problem. What we need is a simple 'STOP' button. They will not give you that because they suck data in the background and being paid on that. Airtime. Remember the old CD players and cassete player? Deezer has got that, but missing a stop button. That is how they rob you blindly. They will come with shit on how YOU are doing it wrong, but where is the stop button?  Fuck Deezer. 

If you're experiencing the issue where music from a closed app continues to play in the background, the resolution process can differ based on your device's operating system. On iOS devices like iPhones or iPads, you can access the App Switcher by double-clicking the home button or swiping up from the bottom (for newer models). From there, locate the portable power station the app playing the music and swipe it away to close it. If the music persists, you can also check the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner and tapping the play/pause button to stop the music. Additionally, ensure the app isn't set to refresh in the background in the "Background App Refresh" settings. On Android devices, use the square or recent apps button to open the App Switcher and close the app playing music by swiping it away...
