My Question or Issue

The sleep timer has disappeared? It was definitely available (I always use it), now after re-installing Spotify it is gone. It's like the app is glitching (see below screenshot) - when clicking on the 3 dots it's not bringing up the full menu, you can see the bottom inch or so is like frozen on the previous screen, and you can't scroll down the menu (black background part of scree) to get to where the the sleep timer was etc. OS and Spotify App are all latest versions & have tried re-installing.

Hi @Happyahab,

Thank you for your reply!

To set a sleep timer for podcast episodes, please tap on the crescent icon in the Now Playing view:

There you'll be able to set the time the app will stop the playback.

Hope this helps. In case you're having trouble with this, it'd be great if you can send over some screenshots so we can see how things look on your end.

Hey @LottieOllie, 

Thanks for reaching out about this. 

We can confirm that at the moment, due to the way the app is set up, the Sleep Timer isn't able to pause playback when connecting to another device.

However, we recommend having a look at this Idea suggesting the possibility to use the Timer along with the Connect feature. Despite its current status, you can still add your vote to it and if anything changes in the future, we'll make sure to keep everyone updated over there.

 The Idea Exchange is a great way for us to see what our users are interested in and how many people like a certain idea.
