Hey, @Drift32105 
Welcome to Spotify Community, and thanks for reaching out to us!

Could you give me more information about what is happening? 

1. Please, tell me what's your device OS + Version (You can find it in your smartphone settings)
2. What's your exact Spotify version?
3. Are you running any A/B (Alpha or Beta) version of Spotify on your smartphone?
4. If you think it would be useful, send me more screenshots that could help me to better understand your issue, but be sure you won't share any sensitive information.

Any additional information that you could provide would be very useful.

Keep me in the loop!

Best Regards,
Luan 🇧🇷

1. Funtouch OS 12 Global (Android 12)

2. 3.7.78.374

3. I use the official Spotify app from Google Play Store

Pretty sure it's a problem with my account and not my device because I logged on to my other account on the same device and it works fine.

Hey again, @Drift32105 

Thanks for bringing more information. The case here seems to be a usability test that Spotify is doing with a group of users. So, if you're running a public and stable version of the app on your phone, the most recommendable is that you keep your app always updated, by turning on the auto-update feature on PlayStore. On the other side, if you're running a test version (Alpha/Beta Program) and want to go back to the stable version, you can do it on the PlayStore as well.
You can find more information here:

• Why has the app changed?

Stay awesome!

If you have further questions or if you need anything else, let me know! I'd love to help!

Regards,
Luan

There's no repeat option

[Drift32105]

I realised that they have removed most features for free users and when I renewed my Premium membership now the repeat along with the shuffle option is available for me.

The issue occurs only on the iphone logged in with my account for all the playlists and albums. My account on other devices work fine and any other accounts on my iphone also works fine.

My spotify app on iphone runs on version 8.7.86.510. I have attached a screenshot

of the issue. 
Do let me know any solution.

The newer version of Spotify is worse. Please bring back the option to play in sequence, queue & the slider. The slider had been made dysfunction and hence we cannot skip to our favourite part of the song. Pls enable those functions again.

Hello there,

I've been having trouble fast forwarding my music while playing the songs; the option to fast forward has simply vanished from my Spotify app; I can't even forward any songs; I have to listen to the entire song to get to the lyrics I want to hear; please resolve this issue.

The previous track button is not working only the next track button is working.

Also, the slider is not functional so I can't skip to a particular time in the song.

My Question or Issue

My Song slider and previous song button are not working. I don't have any button for shuffling now on my interface. The icon for the previous song appears, but it doesn't work.

[New user]

I can’t create queues or modify .I’ve tried reinstalling doesn’t help .I’ve tried logging in from the desktop and it’s the same in the web . The rewind feature is disabled and the loop or repeat option isn’t visible at all

[New user]

I am unable to skip to previous song. Only "skip to next song" option is available. And I'm unable to skip to a certain part of the song by scrolling on the progress bar while playing a song.

The app also keeps buffering and then a pop up says something is wrong, try again. When I click on try again everything loads. Then when I click on a song again thr loop starts.

[New user]

Spotify disabled the rewind button, shuffle button as well as the repeat button. The rewind button is greyed out and the other two buttons are missing altogether. Also, i can no longer fast forward songs through the slider which is disabled as well. Help??

[New user]

I can not able to forward/backward song from song slider bar. Also can not go to previous song. previous button is greyed out. Tried reinstalling/clearing cache but that didn't work.
Using free version. And I can able to use slider and back button few months back but suddenly it was not working.

Please bring back the previous version of Spotify and the free account features like the ability to replay songs and skip , the new update is so upsetting and boring.
