Most of Saved Music gone/Cannot search for other users

[Jamezo_o]

Hello, Im a free user and when I went onto spotify on mobile with the new update I noticed that all but 273 of my saved songs were gone. Also I can’t search for other spotify users anymore. Is there any reason for this? And how can I restore my music.

Hey @Jamezo_o,

Any songs, playlists, artists, albums, and podcasts you saved before the app was updated can still be found in Your Library.

Note: Songs you saved are now in your Favorites playlists.

Lastly, according to their Help site, Spotify are currently exploring different social options for the free, ad-supported service on mobile. Right now, the ability to search for and follow your friends is unavailable. Hopefully, Spotify will have more information about this soon.
