Spotify forced update, installed twice

alecv76 — Fri, 30 May 2014 07:38:26 GMT

Hi, I recently was forced to update Spotify on my sg-sI9300 (rooted, SOKP custom rom), after that it asked me to uninstall old version.... All was working fine until a couple of hours later I visited the play store and seen spotify wasn't installed... trapped for the curiosity, I proceed to install it and so I got Spotify twice, this last one just took less than 4mb to install... looks totally strange behavior so I'm here to ask you if it is normal or not ?...
please excuse my english, I'm from Costa Rica...

Sounds like you probably have the old app & the new one installed. Please be aware there are 2 versions, the one you want is the newer version and is called "Spotify Music" in the app store. Please remove the other version from your device.

Yes, @Daniel is correct.

The newer app is a completely separate app with a different package name. The old app has a very low memory footprint, and should be removed (apparently).
