My Question or Issue

I have the Spotify Recently played widget on the HOMESCREEN of my iphone, the spotify app updated and my playlist covers are blank white with the no custom covers on them, just blank squares with the recently played name at the top, the album covers are visible when i open the app and when music is playing on the lockscreen but nothing on the homescreen, i have already force restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled spotify, logged in and out and deleted the widget and put it back STILL NOTHING ITS LIKE THE COVERS ARE LOADING

Hey folks,

Apologies for the radio silence!

We can confirm that any artwork displayed in the widget should show properly now. For any feedback related to the recent change of the content shown in the widget (currently playing song vs recent playlists), please make sure to share it in this thread.

Cheers,

i have a similar problem but in my case the widget shows the currently played song instead of the playlist and it really upsets me since i match the playlist covers to my home screen and the songs' pictures often don't match it

I’m also experiencing the same problem. Personally, I’d like the widget to display the album cover (like before) rather than only the currently playing track. It looked much better that way.

Hi folks,

Thanks for posting in the thread!

At Spotify, we’re always looking for opportunities for improvement so your feedback on this is greatly appreciated! We routinely conduct a number of tests, and some of them may ultimately end up paving the way for our broader user experience. 

Take care.

i wish the widget would show the most recent playlist rather than current song playing that was the only reason i had the widget 😞
