[bug] One of 'share' icons generates bad links

Solved!

[bug] One of 'share' icons generates bad links

I have noticed that when I try to share the song via the share button at the bottom (see screenshots) it generates the wrong link that can't be opened by other people via iOS Spotify app.  

Plan

Premium

Country

UA

Device

(iPhone 12 mini) However, it reproduced on other iPhones too.

Operating System

(iOS 15.0.2)

My Question or Issue

STR:

1) Find any song via search in iOS app.

2) Open this song and click on 'share' button at the bottom

3) Use copy link or share via Telegram 

4) Try to open this link.

EXPECTED: the song will be opened in the app

ACTUAL: "An error occurred" is shown

 

Please take a note that sharing song via 'thee dots at the top right corner' -> 'share' is working fine.

The difference is in URLs that are generated:

bad link: https://open.spotify.com/track/7lQ8MOhq6IN2w8EYcFNSUk?si=npVgYzRhTyeTEfu-sTjahQ&context=spotify%3Atrack%3A7lQ8MOhq6IN2w8EYcFNSUk 

good link: https://open.spotify.com/track/7lQ8MOhq6IN2w8EYcFNSUk?si=l-7JTwivTUKK-wOehgiudA

Hi Eni, thanks for your reply but seems the issue is gone, maybe some updates are fixed this or it was a temporary issue. But both share icons now work as expected.

Hey there @DanyloChyhryn

 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

 

Just to confirm, is this happening on a different device as well such as a PC?

 

On another note, we'd like to know if this started happening after a specific event such as an update either of Spotify or the OS of your phone. 

 

Lastly, sending us a screen recording of the issue happening would come in handy. You can send a link to it or attach it using the Insert Video option in the post editor. 

 

We'll be on the lookout for your reply.
