MiniPlayer icon missing on M2 macbook

Device

Macbook Pro M1 / Macbook Air M2

My Question or Issue

On my M1 mac I can see the little Open Miniplayer icon next to the Full Screen one, but on my M2 mac the Miniplayer is not there, I have re-installed Spotify but it did not help.
Both laptops run the same OS and Spotify version.

Edit: The Web Player one works on M2, it's only the client app that has the issue it seems 🤔

Hey @cambei,

Thanks for reaching out! 🙂

This feature is gradually being rolled out, so there might be some hiccups along the way.
To make sure everything is in order on your end we can try removing all Spotify-related data from the affected device and installing the app once more. This process is more thorough than a regular reinstall. You can find the steps here.

Hope this helps; keep us posted!

Did it show up for you? I was having issues finding it at first but someone suggested I restart the app and it magically showed up. I have an M1 MacBook and was concerned it was a compatibility issue, but was pleasantly surprised when "turn it off and turn it back on again" worked.
