[Desktop] Recently Played section not updating anymore

Hi team,

For any reason, the Mac Desktop "Recently Played" section doesn't get refreshed.

The one of the web player of the iOS app works perfectly.

I already did a clean reinstallation of the desktop app and the issue occurs whatever other laptop I use.

 

(see attached screenshots)

 

Any idea?

Hey folks,

Thank you for reporting this issue to us.

We just wanted to let you know that the right folks are looking into this.

We're not able to provide an exact timeline for a fix, but we'd recommend always keeping your Spotify app up to date to ensure you're on the latest version.

Thanks again!

This was originally submitted in 2017. I think it's safe to say that Spotify does not plan to fix it because they do not care.

 

As evidence, they marked a duplicate ticket for this same issue "Status changed to: Not Right Now" in 2021. It might as well say "Never" at this point.

I just asked Spotify support about this an they completely blew me off. I will be switching music providers immediately. The great thing is, now I get to listen to high fidelity music. Spotify is a joke now. Just about as bad as Netflix.

This has started happening to me too. It's really frustrating. Recently played doesn't update if I play on anything other than my roommate's smart TV or my PS4. Not my phone, not my PC. It NEVER gets rid of podcasts, even though I haven't listened to any in MONTHS and only use the app for music 99% of the time. So infuriating and feels just outright embarrassing if I let someone else see my homepage. They need to fix this ASAP or I'm switching to Youtube Music.
