Sharing Spotify Tracks

[dpanhel]

Wondering if someone can help me.  I have been a subscriber for over a year now, and withi nthe past 3 days now, whenever i try to share a track with someone via SMS, when i click the SMS button it longer opens a text box to text the track, it jsut closes back to the options on sharing a track i.e spotify people, facebook, twitter etc....I can still copy the track link and add it to a text, but i liked hte SMS feature because it inlcuded the name and artist of the shared song within the text body.  I am using potify on a iPhone 5S.  I have reset phone, dleted and reinstalled app, logged out of spotify.  Still nothing has worked

Hi @dpanhel and welcome to the community 🙂

Have you tried a clean reinstall of the app? This will cause the loss of offline tracks.

I haven't seen any other messages relating to this error, however I'll ask some other iOS users to check 🙂

Strange, just tested this out of my 4S and it seems okay. 

What version of iOS are you running exactly?

Im running iOS7.0.3 on a iphone 5S.  The weird thing is it wasa working last week.  no updates to OS or i did not see a spotify app update either.

Same problem here, only share to Facebook or Spotify users works.
And that only partially works as I can only see friends that are on fb which is very annoying!

iPhone 5S, iOS 7.0.3, Spotify 0.8.0.57

Before I escalate this as a bug, can someone try giving their device a full reboot by holding down the home and lock buttons together until the apple logo appears on screen and then try again?

Just tried this Peter & still not working, thanks.

Exactly the same has been happening with me since I have moved from my iPhone 4S to the iPhone 5S. On older devices all the sharing functionalities seem to be working though. And I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app multiple times and did a reset of the device by pressing and holding the power & home button until it restarts the device. No luck 😞

I can confirm this is a known issue (sharing broken on iPhone 5(S)) - so the team are aware of it.

This issue is on iPad Air too.

Make me think thatthe issue runs with A7 processor

Now that I have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5S, noone will know what I am listening too.

Any help would be nice.

I am having this same issue.  After upgrading to iPhone 5S I am no longer able to share tracks via Twitter or SMS.  Please fix bug.

[Peter__]

Where are you copying the link from exactly @andbcn and can you post an example here?

[LordForceOne]

"Share" feature for mobile app still not working after iOS 7.0.4 update. This bug is still not fixed.

[jorgedihe]

Same Problem.

iPhone 5s with 7.04 with 7.0.4 (11b554a )

I can´t  share music that i am playing by twitter.

The others options goes fine but imposible tu share via twitter.

[youngturck]

Has this issue been fixed?  I am having the same issue on an iPhone 5C with 7.1.2 on it.  I have deleted, reset and reinstalled and still no joy.  AT&T is my carrier.

Thanks,

Jenn

Sharing songs over the iPhone works just as well! Tried sharing over Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and generating the link.

Have you tried to do a clean reinstallation?
