Push Notifications for New Releases

On the mobile app the What’s New section when swiping right displays new music, artists you follow release. It would be great if we got push notifications instead of having to check in app for them.

Similar to how YouTube sends you notifications when a channel you subscribe to releases a video. Imagine choosing which artists of the ones you follow you get notifications from and possibly even what type of releases (eg singles, EP, Albums or a combo of them).

 

Reading some community posts suggests this may have been a feature but it’s either stopped existing or not working for me (notifications are enabled on Spotify and on in phone settings. Also tried reinstalling the app etc etc). I have received a small amount of notifications for albums. But only very infrequently. It misses the vast amount of releases.

Hi,

 

I'm having the same issue when it comes to new podcast episodes on an up-to-date Android phone and all notification settings everywhere activated. I did a clean reinstall of Spotify multiple times to no avail.

 

Push notifications for new podcast episodes have not been working correctly for over a month now. For a few podcasts, some episode drops are pushed. For most podcasts and episodes, however, there is no push notification (though they show up in New Episodes).

 

I also have my own podcast distributed on Spotify and have noticed a marked drop in listeners over the past month, despite growing subscriber numbers. This indicates that there are more people not getting push notifications for new podcast episodes.

 

For a few weeks, I figured I would just wait it out, but now it has been a while and is affecting my numbers as a creator quite a lot.

 

Is there any fix in sight?

 

Kind regards,

Yoshi
