Playlist scrolling position resets when navigating away from the app

[OscarDC]

Hey folks,

We received some reports mentioning that the position on the playlists resets when navigating away from the app. This is currently Under investigation by internal teams.

Whenever I am scrolling for songs to pick through my 2000 plus song playlist  any time I have to respond to a message or any time I leave and come right back, no matter how fast it will always scroll up and make me loose my place making me scroll down all the songs over and over. And the weird thing is it doesn't even reset to the top it goes like a quarter down my list so it's not like an automatic thing just seems random.  Wish there was a leave on last page mechanic in spotify so I could continue where I left off without the hassle of scrolling for miles to get back where I was just a second ago.

Yeah, I've got the same problem and am as annoyed by it, as I'm annoyed by reading for months that the Spotify team is looking it - I feel like there is nothing being done and we are left with the problem without a solution

Hi,

I feel like im going in repeat but its not 1 or 2 people that have it. Its not a small issue or smth u can bye pass. Its HURTING user experience. All we get is a "we have noticed the issue". We want clarity. With all due respect its very bad rep for u guys and i hope u listen to us and start making this more of a priority.

Thank you

I'm also having this issue. Have tried all the troubleshooting steps provided including a clean reinstall using the guide provided by Spotify. Hopefully this is fixed ASAP as I have been using the app for 10 years and never had any issues, this creates a horrible user experience.

My Question or Issue

If i scroll in any playlist wen i scroll about 100 songs diep it wil always go back up wen i open my phone again

[Chris89264]

I have the same problem on the Samsung Galaxy S24+. Everytime I close the app and the app is running in the background the scrooling position is at the top. Its very very annoying. And spotify seems to have no solution. I've reinstalled the app a serval times and have done all other suggestions. Nothing works. They have to fix the bug.

Apparently this is a feature they are testing?? If that's the case, I'm not sure what the benefit to the feature is. My liked playlist on Spotify is over 6000 songs, I like the freedom of scrolling through it when I'm travelling etc. The playlist resetting all the way back to the top if my screen goes off for a second is really, really annoying. Makes the experience super clunky having to scroll all the way back to position every time. Would appreciate it if this feedback is passed along. 🙂 

Edit: at the very least, maybe they can add a toggle for this to make it optional!

So.... 2 months later and this is STILL NOT FIXED? What an incompetent company.

Fix your app for the love of god. Oh and uhh, how's that HiFi / Lossless music option coming along? Still waiting for that since your bogus announcement in February 2021.
