Liked songs playlist isn't updating across different platforms

[Arthur_trsn]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an issue I've been having with my "Liked Songs" playlist on Spotify. It seems that the playlist isn't updating consistently across different platforms, including the Windows 11 app, the iOS app, and the web version.

Here are the current discrepancies in the number of songs displayed on each platform:

Windows 11: 468 songs
iOS: 352 songs
Web: 480 songs

As you can see, the number of songs varies quite a bit, and there are several missing tracks depending on which device I use.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, do you have any tips on how to resolve it? It’s pretty frustrating to have such an inconsistent experience across devices.

I've been having this issue for a week and no fixes have worked! My ios app shows 2966 songs and my desktop app for windows shows 2961 songs. The last 5 songs are not appearing on my liked playlists and nothing is syncing the 2 devices together

someone suggested removing a liked song and then re-adding to the device that shows more songs. this is working for me! bit of an annoying fix but better than reinstalling stuff

Hi there folks,

Thanks for all the replies.

As previously mentioned, we've reopened this investigation and are looking into this once again. To that end, could you please provide us the following:

• What devices does this happen on?
• The exact makes, models and OS of all your affected devices
• The exact Spotify Versions you use.

This will greatly aid us in our investigation.

Keep us posted.

Hi Joan,

I'm still experiencing the issue on Spotify for Windows (64 bit) 1.2.62.580.gb27ad23e. This is Windows 10, make is not applicable since it's a desktop machine. Force refresh does not work, also flushing the DNS cache has no effect. If you require any further information you can reply.. I regrettably don't think I will deal with this issue for much longer since Spotify is just not working well for me like this.

My telephone, iPad, and laptop all continue to play the same Liked playlist in the same order. When I use Spotify on the TV, it plays a totally different playlist and usually the same few songs from the same few bands

I have added songs to my liked songs in the iOS app. The songs do not appear in Windows desktop app. They do, however, appear in the web app. Any ideas re: a fix?

I am also having a similar issue for about a year only on my iPad, but it's not just song adds that don't sync – nothing does, from preferences to where I am in an audiobook/podcast to creating playlists to adding songs. I have to reinstall the iPad app fresh to get it to update any content and it stays "frozen" at that time of the new install. 

I sync Spotify between about 10 devices that all work fine – including ones with VPNs, no background app refresh turned on, etc – but my iPad will never update. I have rebuilt the iPad from scratch multiple times, am not using a VPN, background app refresh is on... yet the only thing that will see the app update is the 50+ times I have reinstalled Spotify from a fresh download, and then waited about 24 hours or so for the locally stored files to re-download as well.
