Cannot post to facebook - connection to facebook failed

Hello,

I've been getting an error message for the last couple of days whenever trying to share a song on facebook. Spotify says "cannot post to Facebook. The post cannot be sent because the connection to Facebook failed"
I've always been able to use this feature in the last and now it doesn't work from my iPhone, nor my iPad. I've activated the "show activity" option on spotty, doesn't make a difference
Also tried logging in with my Facebook account, no changes
Also checked in the iPhone settings whether spotty was allowed access to Facebook (in settings > Facebook) but spotify doesn't appear in the list of apps that have requested access to my Facebook account
Lastly, I've checked privacy settings on Facebook and spotify is enabled and is authorized to post on my profile.
Any ideas on how to solve this? It used to work perfectly. Last time I used it was Sunday...
Thanks

Bet you need to update your app.

The one on windows 8.1 platform.

It's taking me to the login-screen when i press Connect to Facebook.

I'm typing in my login information, click Login, and then.. Nothing.

And if i open up "Preferences" and scrolls down to "Social Network" it still says Connect to Facebook.

Nothing sharing to Facebook either..

 

Now,this is NOT a big problem to me, i'm happy as long as i can listen to the music, but it's a "fun" feature.

 

Heard someone else report on another topic the issue went away when they made a browser other than chrome their default in Windows. Might be worth trying?

I see this issue was solved for you. Unfortunately I cannot locate the fix. Can you direct me to it? Thank you.

Right around the time we started having our Facebook preview issue (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Facebook-Playlist-Share-Broken/m-p/98606... we noticed this too... wonder if whatever broke on their end for this issue caused the previews to not look the same when you manually share a playlist now. I am not trying to duplicate post but maybe you guys working on this have some insights into our problem because it looks connected.
