If your device cannot be updated to a supported operating system version, it will no longer be compatible with the latest version of the Pandora app. Please note: In some cases, Pandora may continue to function on an unsupported device or operating system. However, continued functionality is not guaranteed. Future updates to Pandora or related services may impact functionality on unsupported devices. Public iOS, iPadOS & watchOS Beta Software Pandora does not officially support public beta versions of iOS, iPadOS, or watchOS. While Pandora may work as expected on beta software, beta releases can introduce instability, unexpected behavior, or compatibility issues that are outside of Pandora's control. We appreciate your feedback and patience as Apple continues to refine its beta software ahead of public release. Frequently Asked Questions Q: If I'm unable to update to iOS, iPadOS or tvOS 18, or watchOS 11, can I still listen to Pandora? A: If Pandora is already installed on your device, it may continue to function as long as the app remains installed. However, continued functionality on an unsupported operating system is not guaranteed. We recommend avoiding deleting or uninstalling the app. Q: What happens if I delete the app or need to restore my device? A: If your iPhone or iPad is running a version earlier than iOS or iPadOS 18, your Apple Watch is running a version earlier than watchOS 11, or your Apple TV is running a version earlier than tvOS 18, you will not be able to download the current version of Pandora from the App Store. Pandora on Apple TV also requires an Apple TV HD (4th generation) or later. Apple TV (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation) devices are not compatible with the current Pandora app. Older versions of the Pandora app are no longer available for download. Q: Will I continue to receive new features and improvements? A: No. New features, enhancements, and fixes are delivered through Pandora app updates, which are only available on supported devices and operating systems. Devices running versions earlier than iOS or iPadOS 18, tvOS 18 or watchOS 11, will not receive future Pandora app updates.

Hi @Bigmanny I just wanted to follow up and let you know I haven't forgotten about you. I've been out of office. I did share your experience since I last reached out to you about the For You page in CarPlay not loading. Our engineering team are investigating. Thanks for your patience in the meantime, and I appreciate you sticking with us while we take a closer look.

Hi @Godalway_1! Thanks for the reply. Nothing wrong with a good old-fashioned auxiliary cable! 😉 I've similarly like some old school listening time. I find it very grounding. I just want to make sure I'm understanding your experience correctly. When you mention that the music speed is going down or up a little, do you mean: • The song actually sounds like it's slowing down or speeding up (almost like the playback rate is changing), or • The volume seems to get louder and quieter? Also, does this happen with all content on Pandora, or only with certain stations, artists, or tracks? You mentioned using the RootlessJames EQ app as well. Are you running that app at the same time as Pandora when this happens? If so, does the behavior continue if you temporarily disable the EQ app and listen with only Pandora playing?

Hi @G59 Welcome to the Pandora Community! 👋 Sorry to hear you're running into trouble with listening to Pandora. Just so I can better understand what's happening, does the message appear directly on your phone within the Pandora app, or does it display on your car's screen? Could you also let me know how you're connected in your vehicle? For example, are you using Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or a USB connection? And does this only happen while you're in the car, or have you noticed the same "Your session has timed out" message when listening on your phone outside of the vehicle as well? The more details you can share, the better I'll be able to help investigate. Thanks!

TannerPandora · ‎06-15-2026

Hi @dbuelke Welcome to the Pandora Community! Thanks for taking the time to provide all those details about your setup. Based on your description, it sounds like your GMC may be connected to Pandora through Bluetooth, which typically provides basic playback controls and information such as the station name, song title, artist, and play progress. When connected this way, browsing stations and other Pandora features generally remain available only on the phone itself. Just to confirm, are you currently connected through Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, or the vehicle's built-in Pandora integration? If you're using Bluetooth, what you're describing would be expected behavior. However, if your vehicle supports Apple CarPlay and you're connected through CarPlay, the experience may be different and provide additional controls directly through the vehicle display. Regarding navigation, Pandora should continue playing while using a GPS or mapping app, even if you move away from the screen. However, if the navigation app provides spoken directions, you may notice Pandora briefly lower in volume or pause while those directions are announced. Once the navigation prompt is finished, Pandora should resume normal playback automatically. Let me know which connection method you're using. Thanks!

Hi @MusicFan0714 Sorry for any confusion around the Replay feature. To clarify, Replay is not available through external controls such as vehicle controls, Bluetooth devices, earbuds, or lock screen controls when listening to a station. This applies to both Android and iOS devices. When listening to a station, Replay can only be accessed directly within the Pandora app or through the web experience. However, Replay is available for eligible on-demand content, such as playlists and albums. When listening to on-demand content the replay track button will be available through external controls like vehicle controls and earbuds. Please also keep in mind that some songs may not be eligible for Replay due to content licensing restrictions. When this occurs, Pandora should display a message explaining why the track cannot be replayed. Hope this helps to explain. Again, sorry for any confusion around this. Use your mobile device only when conditions allow and as permitted by applicable law.

Hi @Godalway_1! Welcome to the Pandora Community! 🎶 Glad to hear Pandora is sounding great in your car. To better understand what's happening, could you tell me a little more about your experience? I see that you used the label 'Crashes', are you finding that Pandora is crashing frequently? Does it only happen when you're listening outside of your car, or does it also happen when you're listening inside of your car as well? How do you listen to Pandora in your car? Are you connecting your phone to your vehicle through Bluetooth, USB cord, or Android Auto? What is the make and model of your Android? What Pandora version are you currently on? For the audio quality, are you only having trouble with RootlessJames or with other artist as well? Are you listening directly from your phone, or connecting to a speaker? Thanks for your help!

TannerPandora · ‎06-04-2026

Hi @Bigmanny! Sorry for the continued trouble with the For You tab in CarPlay. While I don't have a timeline for a resolution yet, I can confirm that our teams are actively investigating the issue. As a follow-up for our investigation, could you let us know whether content loads if you switch to a different tab within Pandora and then return to the For You tab? Our teams are narrowing down the possibilities of what may be happening and are trying to rule out a few things. Thanks for your help and continued patience!

TannerPandora · ‎06-04-2026

Hi @RFB4969 Welcome to community! I took a look at your Pandora account and reviewed your listening history from the past two weeks. Like you mentioned, I'm not seeing any U2 stations, songs, or other U2-related content being played, which makes this behavior a bit unusual. To help me investigate further, I've enabled tracing on your account. The next time this happens, please let me know: The date and time it occurred, please include your time zone Whether Pandora started playing automatically when you connected your iPhone to your vehicle If possible, please also share a photo or screenshot showing what appears on your device when U2 music starts playing. You can attach images directly to this community thread (this works best from a web or mobile browser). Photos and screenshots cannot be added through email replies. Once we have those details, I can take a closer look. Thanks! Use your mobile device only when conditions allow and as permitted by applicable law.

TannerPandora · ‎06-02-2026

Thanks, @Saavedro88! Yeah, just a little confusing. 😄 I've reported this to our Android team so they can further review. Thanks for letting us know!

TannerPandora · ‎06-02-2026

Hi @Saavedro88 I asked a colleague to test on their Android, and they see the same share options as you do. However, when they selected Instagram Messages, it took them to their Instagram Stories. Could you do me a favor and see if you have the same experience. Thanks!

TannerPandora · ‎06-02-2026

HaHa @Lesha0219! 🤣 Thanks for following up with us, and happy that "I'm tired of this song" has returned with shuffle! 🎉 I'm happy to hear this issue has now been resolved. Since everything appears to be working again, I'm going to close this thread to future comments. If you experience this issue again in the future, please create a new post so we can take a fresh look and investigate further if needed. Thanks for being part of the Pandora Community! 🎵

TannerPandora · ‎06-02-2026

Thanks for the picture, @Saavedro88 - super helpful! I'm going to report this to our Android teams for further review. In the meantime, I would go ahead and try the troubleshooting steps I mentioned when you have a chance. This will help rule out a few things on our end and create a new connection with Pandora. Thanks for being part of community!

TannerPandora · ‎06-02-2026

Hi @jl4president Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! Sorry for any trouble you're having. I've gone ahead and created a new thread for your report. The discussion you originally posted in was from 2024, and while an issue may have been resolved at that time, similar symptoms can sometimes reappear later for entirely different reasons. Creating a new thread helps us make sure we're investigating the most current experience. I'd be happy to pass your experience and details along to our engineering team for further investigation. To help us better understand what's happening, could you tell me a bit more about the issue you're seeing? For example, when you try to add variety to a station, do the results fail to load, or are you experiencing something different? Also, when you mention that popular artists won't allow you to start a station from them, what exactly happens when you try? Could you also provide: The make and model of your device Your Pandora app version Thanks again for the additional details!

TannerPandora · ‎06-02-2026

Hi @Saavedro88 The option to share content to Instagram should still be available, as far as I'm aware. Could you share a picture of what you're seeing? You can upload images directly here through a web or mobile browser. Unfortunately, images can't be posted through email. Also, have you noticed this happening with specific types of content, such as Stations, Playlists, or Albums, or does it occur with anything you try to share? In the meantime, let's take a look at what may be happening. I've enabled a trace on your account. I'd like to begin with clearing the app data and cache on your Android and resetting your connection with Pandora. Please note that the steps to clear the cache/data can be slightly different depending on your Android model and OS. If you have a Pixel, you can check out Google's help page for steps on how to clear space on your device. Open your device Settings Tap Apps Scroll down to find Pandora Select Storage On the storage details page tap Clear Data. When completed you will be signed out of Pandora, and will need to sign back in. As a Premium listener you may need to re-download some of your offline content again. Let me know how it goes!

Hi @SRudden No problem! You're all set to go.

TannerPandora · ‎06-01-2026

Hi @Bigmanny! Thanks for following up and for sharing that picture, it's very helpful and gives us a much better look at what you're experiencing. I've passed this along to our engineering team so they can take a closer look and continue investigating. We appreciate your patience while we dig into this further. Thanks again for taking the time to provide those details!

TannerPandora · ‎06-01-2026

Hi @The_Drake Welcome to the Pandora Community, and thanks for taking the time to call this out. I appreciate you letting us know about the issue you're hearing with "Numb / Encore" by Jay-Z & Linkin Park. I've shared your report with our curation team so they can take a closer look and review the track. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention and for being part of the community! 🎵
