My Question or Issue

This has been an ongoing issue on my Mac for months, so I've finally decided to make a thread on it.

On the Spotify Mac application (1.1.44.538.g8057de92 - just updated at the time of making this thread and the problem still persists) and on the Mobile Web Player, I've had the same two things (a playlist and a song) be the only two things found under the "Recently Listened" tab for months now. I've listened to much more on both the app and the mobile player so I don't know why these continue to be the only two things being displayed.

It's super frustrating because when I want to go back to things I've previously listened to on my Mac, etc. I have to find them manually versus just being able to go to this tab because literally nothing is there except for the 2 things mentioned above. I've even noticed this on the iOS app too (although on iOS it seems to refresh more frequently then never like on the Mac app and Web Player!)

Something of this nature seems like it could be fixed very simply so it's astounding that this has persisted for months now... I mean this is debatably one of the most important tabs on both mobile and on desktop for casual listeners so can this be fixed already?

Hi there @NpXX,

Thanks for reaching out in the Community!

We've let our developers know about this and they're investigating. We appreciate your feedback as it helps inform our decisions going forward, but just as a heads up, we’re not able to confirm if or when this specific issue will be resolved.

We recommend keeping your Spotify app up-to-date to guarantee you get the latest features and fixes. You can also try logging out everywhere and logging back in on your devices, as this forces an account wide re-sync with the servers.

Hope you find this information helpful.
