Spotify No Longer Showing Unavailable songs

Spotify No Longer Showing Unavailable songs

I uninstalled Spotify, and downloaded and re-installed spotify to fix the issue of my local files metadata not showing up correctly.  That resolved that issue but I can no longer see unavailable files, and I no longer see the option to turn that back on.

Nevermind, please ignore.  Apparently there was just a delay.

@CarlosE I am still having the issue detailed in the post. I did not change any settings on my phone or desktop. I did not log in to desktop in a while, and now I am not being shown the option to hide/show unavailable songs, and all my unavailable songs are hidden in "Liked songs" even though I previously had the option set to show them. Oddly, they're showing up in some other playlists

How long did it take for it to show back up for you? I'm having the problem of the option not showing up on desktop after not using the desktop app for a while

It was probably 10 to 15 minutes.

Hey @kick_ball_boy

 

Thanks for getting in touch about this. 

 

Could you let us know which troubleshooting steps you've already tried? That way we can avoid any repeating steps.

 

Also, would you mind sending us the exact make/model, operating system and Spotify version of your device?

 

We'll be on the lookout.

steps tried: closing and restarting (incl. restarting computer), updating application, leaving it open for 15 minutes and seeing if the option showed up, closing and opening settings multiple times

Hey @kick_ball_boy,

 

Thanks for getting back to us.

 

Currently there is no option to hide unavailable songs while using the desktop app.
