Podcasts: choice between showing the podcast cover art or the captions

[rach33el]

Captions are great and can be super useful, but it’s not great when it’s in place of the podcast’s cover art. Give us a choice to see the captions or the cover art. Some times it is very distracting and it would be nice just to see their cover art! Other times reading along might be better but you still have the option when you scroll down to “read along”. I know it’s not just me who it annoys.. Spotify gave us the option when we are listening to music to see a short video clip or the album cover let us choose here to.. Thank you!

It seems the last update fixed it.  I’m not having the same issues anymore.  Thanks for your help.

Somehow this problem just popped up for me, already updated the app, logging it in and out and still nothing.

I am still having this issue. I’ve re-installed the app. Cleaned caches. The problem still persists. Give us an option to disable podcast transcript.

Hi there, I’m also experiencing the same issue. Using IOS 17.3.1, Spotify version 8.9.19. Looking forward to having this resolved. Thank you in advance!

Experienced the same issue on iOS 17.4.1 and Spotify version 8.9.19

Logging out and then back in once solved the issue for me (I restarted my phone before this, but that didn't change anything)

Logging in and out twice or clean installing the app are NOT solutions. They are workarounds for a problem that shouldn't be there in the first place as there should be a clear option to enable and disable this feature. It's in the same class as needing to kill and restart the app to refresh the new episodes list: bad development and implementation. Consider my subscription cancelled. I'll get used to having my podcasts and music in separate apps, but with proper bitrate music, thanks and goodbye.
