Black Screen in Now Playing View on iPad (v9.0.90)

Hey folks,


Some of you with iPads running the app version 9.0.90 may encounter a black screen when you tap the Now Playing View (bar or cover art). The app becomes unresponsive, blocking access to features like lyrics, queue, repeat, and shuffle.

Your track may keep playing despite the black screen. Closing and reopening the app can temporarily fix the issue while this is being looked into.

Hey folks,

 

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

 

If you're still having trouble, it's worth logging out and signing back in to your account to force a resync or performing a clean reinstall of the app to get rid of any potentially corrupted cache.

 

Should you need assistance with anything else, you can post a new thread in the relevant help board here.

 

Cheers 🤘
