Answer:
We’re aware that several people are reporting that the Friend Feed fails to load. We’ve already passed this on to our developers, and a fix has been applied to lower the instances of this from happening. A failed feed looks like this:
If you’re still experiencing this, try the following steps:
- Check that you’re following other users. If you go to another user’s profile, check that the green Following button is there. If it is, try unfollowing and following again.
- Other users that you follow must have played something within 7 days on a device that supports sharing listening history. This includes Desktop, iOS or Android devices. Web Player and hardware speakers aren’t supported at this point.
- Other users that you follow must have ‘Publish my activity on Spotify’ enabled in their app's Settings to be seen in your own Friend Feed.
If all of these conditions are met, try the following to see if your Friend Feed works:
- Different device
- Different internet connection
- Reinstall the app
- Restart your devices
If these steps don't help, you can also try tweaking the 'hosts' file on your PC/Mac as it may help. To do that, check out a couple of more in depth answers from our Rock Stars:
