My Question or Issue

Yesterday I noticed that my phone was showing two notifications when I played spotify. The first was the normal notification that spotify was playing with information about the song. The second was a notification that I couldn't swipe away that said "Spotify is trying to play...". It persisted the entire time I was playing music on my phone and disappeared when I closed spotify. What's going on? How can I get rid of the notification?

Hey folks,

Thanks for your patience while we looked into this issue.

We’re happy to say that this should now be fixed for everyone!

 

 

Make sure to perform a clean reinstall and that you're running the latest version of the app.

 

Thanks!

Getting the "Spotify is trying to play" notification everytime I start playing any song. Already tried deleting data, uninstalled and reinstalled app, still getting the same "Spotify is trying to play" notification. How can I remove this? Attached screenshot

@FilipSzy  did you even read my last post?

@heisengainz90 I did, thanks. I was mainly replying to Spotify's status update asking for more information on the issue and not to you directly. It's obviously a bug, I want to help them figure out what the cause is instead of masking the problem away.
