[iOS] Wrong podcast episode played from Search

We've received multiple reports that when a podcast episode is played from the Search bar, another episode gets played instead of the one selected. This is happening on iOS devices.

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for your posts and the info you've provided. 

 

We've received word that this issue should now be fixed in the latest app release. If you haven't already, please update your app to Spotify for iOS version 8.8.36.

 
If you're still experiencing this issue, there is also the following workaround: Playing the episode directly from the search results, or by adding the episode to Your Library and playing from the library. If the issue persists, let's recommend utilizing the web player for the mean time.
 
Cheers!

Changed password, re-installed twice and I´m still having the same problem. iPhone 13 and latest updates. 

I changed apps and started listening through another service yesterday- just couldn´t get it to work on Spotify. Please fix this asap.

Same issue. iPhone 12. Reinstall and logging out doesn’t fix anything.

I have the same issue and reinstalling just led me to **bleep** ton of data redownloading playlists without solving the issue. Spotify is so **bleep**ing garbage, always some stupid issue like**bleep**.

Exact same issue as already reported. I'll add this is only an issue on the mobile app. The desktop app works fine. I can search for and start a podcast episode on the desktop app and then switch devices for it to play on my phone, but this is obviously not ideal.
