after they changed the stupid UI, I can't play music when I try to search for music in the playlist I clicked the song and nothing happen. I can't play music when I try to search and play in Playlist. (English is not my first language so it sounds terrible please understand me)

My Question or Issue

When I try to search through my playlist (using the search bar) and I try to click on a song, it won’t play it. I have to manually scroll to said song and click it there.

Whenever I search something in any of my playlists and tap on a song, the song won’t play. I have to scroll down manually.

My Question or Issue

I have created my spotify playlists that are in my library and are downloaded. I typically search the song I want to listen to in that playlist and click on it to play it. However, now what is happening is that I cannot click the track to play it, I can only swipe to add it to queue or like it. I restarted my phone but it does not fix it. If I search the track and hold my finger on it, I can see that it can detect my finger is there and highlights the track I have selected but I cannot click on it to play it. Never had this issue before and it is very annoying to not be able to play the songs right after searching it in the playlist

My Question or Issue

when ever i try and search within a playlist it wont let me click on a song or the 3 dots. however clicking on a song in the playlist when it isnt popped up with the search function works fine. ive tried reinstalling the app, clearing my cache and logging out my account and nothing works. please help, my only playlist has 2.5k songs and this bug is making the app infinitely worse for me to use.

Hey,
try following:
Close the app by sliding it - open the Spotify App - then with logg out and logg in again -  it worked for me
