My Question or Issue
At times, my play/pause control from lock screen will not be updated to what is actually happening. Music is playing and shows the play button which i have to click and then click the pause button. Same when not playing, I will have to pause button and will have to do the two clicks.

Hi there!
I know it sounds simple, but it's often overlooked. Could you try restarting your device? If that doesn't help, try a quick clean reinstall of the app. Just follow these steps.
I'd also recommend updating to iOS 12.2 🙂
If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify and the exact version of the operating system you're running?
I'll see what I can suggest next!
I’m having the same problem.
Hey there @TechGuru19,
Thanks for reaching out here in the Community about this.
Just to confirm, does this happen when using a certain device? If so, we'd first recommend making sure that this device is up to speed with any pending software updates.
If that doesn't do the trick, it would be helpful if you could try logging in with a different account to see if the issue persists.
Let us know how you get on! We'll be right here if you need more help.
Have a lovely day 🙂
I have updated the app and it still does happen. I mostly notice it when I pause from my AirPods. My wife also has this issue.
Me too. Plus they did away with the album cover graphic on the Now Playing screen. wth? Downgrade!
