My Question or Issue
With the release of the new Spotify mobile app (the one with tiktok feed stuff), the played status of podcasts has stopped syncing between the mobile app at the desktop apps.
I can mark all episodes as played in the mobile app, but these are not reflected in either the MacOS or Windows desktop apps. Likewise, marking as played on either desktop app doesn't sync to the mobile app.
I have signed out and in on all apps, and cleared the cache on each installation.
Versions installed:
iOS = 8.8.16.643
Windows = 1.2.6.863.ge7902f05
MacOS = 1.2.6.863.ge7902f05
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok, it appears to have come right now so maybe there was some sort of issue that was holding it up.
If I mark as played on desktop and then check it on the Apple Watch it syncs correctly.
It’s like the sync command from the mobile app just doesn’t go up to the server.
Can confirm:
Mark as played on desktop = not marked on mobile / marked on watch
Mark as played on mobile = not marked on desktop / not marked on watch
It's like the mobile app is just independent of the other devices now.

Hello @Robadobdob
Thank you for reaching out about this in the Community!
Glad to hear that this started working and your listening activity started syncing between devices 🙂
Cheers.
This is still happening to me, so not sure if it's actually fully solved.
