Pixel Phone

I've been an iPhone user my whole life and decided to go to the s10 to mix things up. I like it so far but there's a few things that I can't figure out.

Spotify randomly stops playing after it's been in my pocket for a while and I cant figure out what's wrong. I've tried restarting, downloading, and making sure the app doesn't fall asleep after a while but it keeps cutting off

Also I can change songs when the phone is locked. I can see the button to skip, pause, and repeat but none of them work. I have to unlock the phone to do so.

Any help?
