My Question or Issue

spotify crashes when you click the 3 dots to add to playlist, share ,view artist. etc

Changes were implemented to fix this issue for most common Android models.

 

Our backstage data combined with received votes and reports on this thread seem to indicate that the changes were successful for a majority of the userbase.


Unfortunately, we're aware that there're still some models with specific Android ROMs that are still experiencing the crash. At this time, we are not able to provide a fix that covers the full range of Android phones.

 

We'll be continuing our efforts to improve compatibility, but cannot guarantee that your specific device will be affected. As such, we'll be stopping the regular updates of this thread and are marking it as case closed.

Doesn't matter when you click the three dots. It just freezes the app. I have to force close it before I can use it again. Also there are no other users on my app.

 

Furthermore I can't watch the Spotify Wrapped 2020 on my phone because that just instantly crashes the app. The year before it was fine because you could just watch it on PC. 

Maybe these issues are related?

No more users are logged in, doesn't matter if there's a song playing or not. I heard some people had problems with their Wrapped, I don't. Please please please fix this ASAP.

That's it! No solutions till now! That's it, I already said bye to Spotify and migrate to Appl3 Music and I think everyone should do that, au revoir!

Come on. Still the same issue months now. I can't share songs or playlists. It is very annoying. Can you inform us about any progress? Or open source so we might find the issue ourselves. Anyway you just need the backend proprietary.

Hey folks,

 

Just so you know - Spotify is informed about this issue and we're looking into it! To that end we would appreciate it if you shared the following info:

 

  • Make/model of your device and exact OS version
  • exact Spotify version - read more how to check this out
  • Country of residence
  • Troubleshooting steps you've tried so far  
  • Can you tell us in which context menu the issue is happening (e.g. on the top corner of the playlist, on the right corner of the track, or both, etc.)?
  • Are there more than one Spotify users switching accounts on the device this happens on?
  • Is there a session in progress (e.g. is a song or podcast playing) or is the app paused?

 

Thanks in advance and to subscribe to get all updates on this.
