IOS7, iPhone 4, sharing to Spotify users show empty user list

lyager — Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:21:20 GMT

On my iPhone, when I want to share a trick with other Spotify users, the user list is always empty. I have plenty of connections on my OSX client, and it has worked before on my iPhone.

Are you connected to Facebook?

No, I don't use Facebook.

That will unfortunately be the issue, its not currently possible to share with non-Facebook users in the mobile applications even if you follow them in the desktop client.

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply.

Not really sure what to do now, has this bug already been filed in some kind of a bugtracker system here at Spotify?

I'm calling it a bug since it has definitely worked before on IOS, and I'm guessing if it wasn't supposed to work it would be easy to remove the button if I don't use Facebook in the UI.

At the time I did raise this as a bug but as far as I am aware the feature was removed on purpose and therefore is not a bug as such. I have however escalated (and continue to annoy the Spotify team) about this issue since it is something we get a lot of reports about!

Hi Peter, thanks for escalating the issue.

I must disagree though, I consider this a bug, as I am 100% sure it worked in the past, as I have definitely shared with Spotify contacts, and never used Facebook (I don't even have an account).

I'm attaching a screenshot for you, just to ensure we are talking about the same thing.

First screenshot, is the share screen, I click 'Spotify People'.

Second screenshot is what is show after I click 'Spotify People', and empty list.

Third screenshot shows that even though typing in 'M', which I have several Spotify contacts beginning with, nothing shows up.

It is definitely the same issue, its currently the same on android.
