[iOS] App crashing when playing podcasts with videos

[Vasil]

Hey folks!

We've received reports (mostly from iOS users) that Spotify crashes when leaving the app and then returning to it while a video podcast is playing.

Leave a +VOTE if you're affected so that we can keep track of how many people are experiencing this.

Thanks!

This exact problem happens to me, and all my friends that I ask. Same device info and same problem as other posters. Please fix this ASAP.

Hey folks,

We’ve passed all gathered info on to the relevant team, who are currently looking into it.

If you’re experiencing this issue, make sure to click +VOTE and Subscribe to the thread to be notified of any developments.

This is still under investigation but in order to rule out any potential side-causes for this, make sure you've done the following:

1. A complete clean reinstall of the app.
2. Same device, different network - test if it works.
3. Same device, different account - test if it works.
4. Different device, using your account - test if it works.

When this is done, if the issue persists, let us know what your device model is, as well as your iOS and Spotify versions.

Much appreciated!

We’ll keep you posted and let you know as soon as we have any updates on this.

I've tried the clean install for this and so far it's worked. Will update again if it begins crashing

Update:  I just did a clean reinstall of Spotify on my phone for the second time and everything seems to be working now. The only difference between this time and the first time I tried doing a clean reinstall was this time I signed out of Spotify on all devices. Everything seems to be working fine for me now again.

Update: saw edp and fivedoor’s update so tried another clean reinstall and working so far. No more issues

Jumping in to add that I'm having this issue on a Galaxy S22 with just one podcast episode in a series it seems. Haven't tried all the solutions yet but one clean reinstall didn't work.

Alright so I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue but whenever I start a podcast it just stops for a second and closes to the Home Screen while I think this might have something to do with the internet or just stupidness appearing I just want to know if there is a solution I am off low power mode Spotify has background refresh turned on and this still happens I’ve restarted my phone (XR-v15.7) (Spotify-v8.8.50) I have uninstalled and reinstalled it worked once and never worked again can I have help fixing this issue? (Edit) the podcast is in video
