My Question or Issue

For several months (pretty much years at this point), my Spotify friends feed has not been updating, it only shows 1 friend I have, while it should have a dozen others. This has been going on for far too long for it to be a problem on my end as I have changed my devices, settings, and other things to try and fix it. I have reinstalled Spotify and my OS but nothing helps. I also see no friends through my Facebook integration even after disconnecting and reconnecting my Facebook profile multiple times. All my settings are the same as my friends and he can see his friend activity but I can't. I already posted about this problem once, and was told it would fix itself but that was months ago. This is very infuriating as it has been going for so long.

As the question says, i cannot see my friends activity no matter what I do. I've tried everything, restarting the app, reinstalling the app, turning on 'share my listening activity on spotify' and 'see what your friends are playing'. I even connected facebook but it did not help.
But somehow my activity shows for my friends.
For reference, I use spotify on windows 11

A while ago my friend activity pane just stopped working. It simply shows the prompt to share my listening activity if I want to enable it, but it doesn't work even though my listening activity is shared. I have tried toggling my listening activity, disconnecting and reconnecting to Facebook, and uninstalling and reinstalling Spotify. Nothing has worked thus far.

Mine has a different problem. It shows the active listeners as listened to "1 hour" ago. I log onto Spotify on a different computer and the friends who are shown as "1 hour" seem to be actually currently listening. I deleted and reinstalled many times, what should I do?

Hi @Loneliest_Cabin. 

 

My friend activity doesn't work. 

I have enable the setting to share my listening activity and I have friends that have enable the setting to publish their activity. 

I already tried logout two in a row and I performed a clean reinstall. 

 

I have spotify premium. 

 

Can you help me?

 

Same issue here, Some friends (same everytime) are showing properly on 'feed' however most are not, I've checked with some who are not showing (sharing activity is toggled on, we are mutual friends and they have been listening for more than 1 min).
I've tried reinstalling spotify (clean one too!) I've tried rebooting relog etc. Nothing helps.
 Platform : PC / WINDOWS

For me also only one friend is showing. Hope Spotify solves this.

Year 2 or 3 of the same problem, still no fix 🤣 hilarious bug

For me logging in and out two times in a row helped sync my account 😮

I can't view what my friend is listening to on spotify, however she can see what I'm listening to.

I have had this issue for years now. All my friends can see my activity but i see none of theirs. i have tried logging in and out multiple times, reinstalled the app and made a clean download 3 times. I have toggled on all the settings needed. nothing works. i see so many people still are dealing with this issue. Any ideas on what i can do?

Hi, I have the same problem for years. Please help me to solve.

I give my permission to check my account

I can see some activities of my friends but not all

Even with 'see what your friends are playing' on, it won't show my friend activity.
