Liked Songs not syncing across devices

[Vasil]

Hey folks!

We are receiving reports that some of you are experiencing persistent issues with your Liked Songs not syncing across all platforms. This includes iOS, Android, desktop app, and the Web Player.

I'm also having this issue, it's obviously not something they care about fixing.

I have the same issue now as well. It just happened for the first time. Cannot sync on desktop.

I just faced the issue rn, this worked for me,

In windows:

Go to settings -> installed apps -> find spotify and click on that -> scroll below you will find Reset section, click on reset button.

Login again.

THIS!

After these steps your Spotify is set to the state you have in the Web App.

1. Close Spotify on your PC.
2. Open your File Explorer and go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Users
   (assuming you installed Spotify on the default location)
   You can copy past that path in your File Explorer or find it manually
3. In this location you'll see a folder named "XXXXXXXXXX-user"
   (10 digits-user). Delete that folder
4. Start Spotify, the folder should be generated automatically again.

If this didn't solve your issue, repeat the steps but sign out of Spotify first.

These steps helped in my case, but on a Windows 11 installation the proper "Spotify\Users" directory is located at:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_XXXXXXXXX\LocalState\Spotify\Users

I've seen posts with the same issue back in 2018 and before. This post is from 2022 and doesn't seem to have any resolution for the user. I've reinstalled and was fine and then Spotify took itself off my desktop and had to open from Windows and required a new log in which then has my last song added from 29JUL2024. I got it to work a week before this. I don't connect to any other network, its home wifi or data. 

Please tell me over the last 6 years there's been an easy fix?

Hey @Omniman_Fan, @kic1 & @Thaddeusii,

Thanks for letting us know that this is still an issue on your ends!

After making sure that you're not using any VPN services, on the affected devices, could you try logging out of the app and back in twice in a row? This triggers a manual sync of all your settings and data and should potentially fix the issue (depending on its source, of course).
We'd also like to know if any of you are using a work-related/ company-licensed device or if all of your devices are for personal use only.

Should the issue persist afterwards, share with us the following details for the affected devices - what the device is, its current OS version and your Spotify app version, as well as if your app has been downloaded from the Microsoft app store or our website (Windows users only).

Many thanks! We'll be on the lookout for your replies 🙂

My Question or Issue

My spotify on desktop is not saving any liked songs for the last 3 weeks. My spotify on my iphone does save liked songs but those liked songs are only showing up on my phone's liked songs. If I save a song on my desktop it wont show up on either desktop or my iphone in my liked songs, as if it never saved in the first place. I have tried to log out and in on desktop, uninstall and reinstall the app and still no result.

I've added quite a few songs to my "Liked" playlist on Desktop App. A few days later these songs are still not synced to my iOS App. I've tried all the suggested remedies: updated all the apps the the latest version, logged out/logged in, cleared cache. Not sure what else can be done to resolve it.

Hey, little thing I've tried. Using Mobile app on Android, and then the native .exe app on Win10 (not microsoft store version)

After losing a lot of hope of my devices being synced, i tried one last thing. in the windows app drawer thing (little arrow in the bottom-right next to clock/date and such) find the spotify app>right click>Troubleshooting>Reset app data and restart. it will log you out, and take a little bit to wake back up, but it worked for me. full sync between Android app, Web player (Chrome) and the native desktop app on Win10. Hopefully this works for you!
