sleep timer on iOs for podcasts gone

[becca181181]

Hello, I noticed that my beloved sleep timer for podcasts in gone. Latest iOs, latest spotify app. How can I get it back? Or was it removed on purpose?
For music it is still there in the three dot menu. Bit for podcasts I used to have a little timer icon.
Best, Rebecca

 I use the timer for my night routine, I have finals in one day and this feature is missing! I use a podcast at night to stop my thoughts from running ramped.

Spotify Version: 8.9.32.586

Model: iPhone 14 Pro

IOS: 17.0.3
No phone update, Spotify doesn’t need to be updated.

Model: IPhone 14

ios: 17.4.1

Spotify version: 8.9.32

The app updated two days ago and the setting has not reappeared since.

It’s also gone for me! 

[becca181181]

Logging out and in again actually worked for me! Thanks!

[Letigra]

Did it last for you? I got it back when logging out and in but it was gone again next time I opened the app 😒

[becca181181]

oh no! I dont know yet. Just logged in. So far the icon stays there even after closing the app. But let‘s see if it stays that way in the next days.

My timer just spontaneously returned so here’s hoping it chooses to stay with me forever this time. I shall spoil it and treat it like the queen it is 😂

podcast just has sleep timer missing

I’m having the same problem!

I have had the same issue— first noticed yesterday.

iPhone 13,  version iOS 17.4.1. 
Spotify version 8.9.32.586

As a work around I’m using the iPhone timer to set a sleep timer—Hope this can help others in the mean time!

To do this, go to clock and then timers. Set a timer for how long you want Spotify to play, then set the “When timer ends” option to “Stop Playing” (this is normally where you’d select the ringtone, stop playing is at the bottom of the list!)  Also can be used for apps that don't have built in sleep timers.

Please bring this feature back!! I need it to fall asleep. As someone in the thread mentioned, a next podcast episode will play with a loud ad that wakes me up 😞

Thanks so much for the hack!

My Question or Issue

Every single day I have to log in and out of Spotify, to fix the problem of the sleep timer missing from podcasts. This has been a problem in 2022, 2023. I haven’t found that anyone else is reporting  this problem, April 22/24. The problem has been ongoing for 3 days.

Having same issue really annoying!

[chompypig]

Thanks v much this worked!!

[Letigra]

My timer keeps disappearing and reappearing. It initially worked to log out and in again but then it disappeared again. It just pops in and out as it pleases. Last night it was enough to restart the app to get the timer back,  but it is SO annoying.

Edit: I did not reply to this post and I did not move my question to this post, my issue is not this issue but spotify community moved it to this post. I do not appreciate that my problem was not fully read and was just moved to an unrelated issue, it does not look good on spotify if they are just trying to sweep bugs under the rug by adding them to unrelated posts as replies without the spotify community user's permission (I have seen this done with lots of other varying kinds of issues before and it's not right to do). I will try to notify spotify about the bug somewhere else.

When using the sleep timer on a podcast in a playlist with the timer set to the end of the episode, the timer just does not work when repeat is turned on and does not override repeat. This is frustrating because you cannot turn on or off repeat for playlists when listening to podcast episodes and I often forget to go into another playlist to make sure it is off before going back to my sleep playlist, and the podcast episode wakes me up in the night when it restarts. Even if repeat is left on, the sleep timer should override it, otherwise why set it? I just made sure to update the Spotify app on my phone in case there was a fix out for this but the problem still persists.

Hey there folks!

Things should now be back on track with the sleep timer. Try logging out from the app and back in again twice in a row, should you still not see the feature. Make sure to also restart the app once it's done. Completing these actions will resync the account info.

Cheers 🙂

This is happening on iOS 17.4.1 across all podcasts. Yesterday the sleep timer worked, but not today. I’m on the most recent version of Spotify.

 The sleep button used to be to the right of the skip button, now it’s replaced with the repeat button
