Description

I never really seen it before because nobody has ever sent me songs before. But my girlfriend has sent me multiple songs and no matter how many times I listen to them, they stay unread in the inbox.

 

A more detailed description, using numbered steps

  1. Close the app and re-open it
  2. remove the app from the multitask bar and re-open the app
  3. restart my iPhone
  4. delete the app from my iPhone and  reinstall it from the AppStore
  5. delete the app from my iPhone, restart the device and the reinstall it.

I don't know how and I don't know why, but 5 to 10 minutes after I posted this thread, I listened to the songs again and the unread badges vanished.

I have exactly the same thing so it's not resolved! Latest iPhone 6.1.2 version. I'm now playing the complete song, hope this helps.

I could delete the song from the inbox on a PC, after this the badge counter was gone on iPhone.

Indeed, it's not resolved yet, still have the same problem. As a work around, I now open Spotify on my PC and mark the songs as listened/read (however you may call it) and reopen the app on my iPhone and iPad and the badge is gone.
