Albums not loading on Android devices

We've received reports that albums don't load on Android devices. When tapping an album a black screen appears.

 

This is being investigated.

Hey folks,

 

Thank you for your patience while we looked into this issue.

 

We’re happy to announce that this should now be fixed for everyone - just make sure you're running the latest version of Spotify.

 

If you're still having trouble you can post a new thread in the relevant help board here.

 

Have a good one!

It's 8.7.70.553. So it's an older version than the one on my phone.

@Yordan my phone (android 11), is using the same Spotify version as my tablet (android 6), but as I mentioned, only my tablet is having this issue.

 

Both are on Spotify 8.7.72.546

 

Taking a quick look through the comments I've noticed that all 3 of the users who are replying to you with this issue are using devices with Android 6.0.1 , maybe that's where the problem is?

Hi there,

 

exact same problem with sons spotify on his old Samsung S5, started on thursday evening.

Playlists work fine, and songs still play etc. but he cant access albums for some bizarre reason.

 

Tried clearing caches, reinstalling the app to the latest version, restarting the phone - even did a factory reset of the phone itself, nothing seems to fix it.

 

Samsung S5, also on android version 6.0.1, the common theme here

Hi, I have the same issue. I've tried the solution you proposed, without success.

I have a LG G4 running Android 6.0. I'm using Spotify 8.7.72.546.

My partner doesn't have that problem, she can load albums without issues. She has an OPPO A9 2020 running Android 11. She's using the same version of Spotify as I do.
