The issue is not with our phones Alex, the issue is your application should have been tested before it was released. Just fix the issue.

It's not mostly Samsung, it just seems that way because Samsung is a top seller.  It happens with my OPPO A91 all the time

Wow, all these Spotify moderators coming on here and acting as if this issue is a complete mystery to them, and is somehow down to the user's phones. Strange how we all use other apps on our phones all this time without this Spotify issue.

I went to settings> Apps & notifications> uninstalled Spotify
completely from my cell phone. Ignored the warning. Logged in from my
computer and then my cell phone. The pause button appeared and it works
fine now. Didn`t lose any of my liked songs. I hope it stays without
disappearing again.
Things happened when they put the group session icon next to the pause
bottom.

I posted here some time before, then suddenly the problem just vanished for weeks or months, came back once more, then disappeared again. Meanwhile, the player in the android pull down menu vanished a couple of days ago. I'm on a Moto G8.
This software is ridiculous!

Hey @4k33m,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

Do you mean the mini player in the notifications section? If so, this is a feature, that is managed by the specific Android ROM and you can check some device specific settings on managing the widgets in the pull-down menu.

Hope this helps,

Cheers!

Yes, you are right I lost my pause button today and had to restart the cell phone.

If the problem exists I might quit Spotify!!
