My Question or Issue

Spotify in mobile browser does not allow me to access my library or add to my playlists. It demands I get the Spotify app. The Spotify app does not exist for my phone. If you are going to punish me for not using your app, the least you could do is make an app for my phone. Stop being assholes!

Hi, welcome to the Spotify community 🎶

The Web Player on mobile devices has a limited feature set and its main purpose is to open Spotify-related links if the user does not have the app installed yet. For the full experience, it is recommended to use the app.

Keep me updated!

Cheers,

I'd like for you to actually read what I posted. The Spotify app DOES NOT EXIST FOR MY PHONE!
You and them can recommend it all you want, I still won't be installing it. Why, you may ask? Because it doesn't exist. It is impossible to install apps on any device if said app does not exist.

The web player used to work fine, and did all the things I needed it to do. Spotify decided to strip features to force me to an app THAT DOES NOT EXIST! The web player, amazingly, works just fine on desktop! The only thing making it not work on mobile is a deliberate decision by Spotify to hide features if the browser is on mobile. 


Spotify has been on a weird quest to get me to unsubscribe - making the service worse and worse, and putting arbitrary restrictions, and harming compatibility, and killing off devices. 

Oh, and just to be sure you caught it this time - THE SPOTIFY APP DOES NOT EXIST FOR THIS PHONE!
