Cannot save/like songs using Google Assistant.

Plan Premium

Country US

Device Samsung Galaxy S8

Operating System Android 8.0.0

According to the link below, I should be able to say "I like/dislike this song" or "Thumbs up/down", which would also add (save) the song to my library in some cases (e.g., daily mixes). However, I have not had any luck getting this to work.

How can I get this to work as expected?

Hey there @stronglikedan,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community!

Just to confirm, does this also occur when using a different device to control your Google Home (for example, another Android device or the desktop app)?

If it only happens with this Android device, we'd recommend a quick reinstall of the app by following the steps here. 

If however you're having troubles with this command over different devices, we'd recommend giving it a try and unlinking, then linking Spotify by following the steps here.

Let us know how you get on 🙂
