Bluetooth play/pause button not working for several weeks now!

The Bluetooth play/pause button does not work (after a few minutes) for several weeks now! Many different Bluetooth headsets and smartwatches are affected (see conversations)!

Please fix very soon - it's really annoying not to be able to play/pause the music with Bluetooth devices.

 

Reinstallation of the app didn't work!

Hey folks!

 

It seems that everything's ok for most of you and also, it's been a while since the last update. We'll close the post for now, but if you need anything else, feel free to get back to us.

 

Take care!

Hi, everyone!

 

Welcome to the Spotify Community, we're glad to see that you're part of the band. 

 

Can you try the steps here for us? They should help with this. Also, unpairing your Bluetooth devices and then pairing them again could help.

 

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Monica, 

 

a new installation and new pairing of my bluetooth-devices did not help. The problem still persists for several months now, even in version 8.4.23.871 😞

 

A voucher for a free month subscription would be appropriate from Spotify's side for the inconvenience.

 

Kind regards 

 

Thomas

@SergioDavid:

 

I contacted Spotify by your linked email but only got a reply how to connect devices with Spotify Connect, what is not the issue here.

 

Still no information from your technical department concerning this ongoing problem?

Erika

 Hi Erika,

 

I just contacted Spotify via Facebook.

 

@all others:

Does somebody else also still encounter the bluetooth play/pause problem or is it solved for you now?
