My Question or Issue

This happened to me a while ago. One day I opened the app and buttons and some icons were missing. I didn't care much because I knew where some buttons were so I was using the app normally but it's very annoying to see just blank. I tried redownloading the app, but it won't help

Hey @kuki1024,

Thanks for reaching out.

If you've installed a custom launcher on your device, you might want to try removing it and checking if this resolves the issue. You can also check your phone's accessibility settings and make sure the font size is set to normal.

Let us know if this helps.

I've been noticing for a few days that some controls on the spotify Home screen have disappeared, in their place there are white tiles, the commands in question are:
up
-Novelty
- Recent plays
-Settings
down
-Home
-Near
-Bookshelf
-Premium

Among the tests I have already deleted data and cache, uninstalled the app and reinstalled, I attach an image

Hello! Welcome to our community! It is common for Spotify to always be updating and improving its platform to provide the best possible experience for its users. These updates may include changes to the user interface and controls on the home screen.

If you have noticed that some controls on the home screen have disappeared, it may be that Spotify is testing a new user interface or making adjustments to improve the user experience. It is important to remember that these changes are made with the goal of improving the platform and offering an even more advanced experience in terms of technology.

It is possible that these controls will reappear soon or be replaced by more efficient and intuitive ones. The important thing is that Spotify is always looking for improvements to offer its users the best possible experience.

WHENEVER I START A SONG THE BUTTONS dosen't show up

Hey @Habib143,

Thank you for your post here in the Community and welcome.

We'll just need more details about the situation. When you say the button doesn't show up, do you mean you're missing the 'Now Playing' bar or is it something else? It would be really helpful if you send over a screenshot or video of what you see. Additionally, let us know if you've tried any troubleshooting steps to fix it, such as logging out and back in or restarting your device. We'd suggest doing a clean reinstall of the app to see if that makes any difference.

On another note, let us know if this happens on one device in particular. If you haven't checked, you can try logging into your account from a different device to see if you have the same issue.

We'll keep an eye out for your reply!

I have a Redmi Note 11.

I tried to solve the problem by installing the old version of the application but it did not work.

I cleared the cache. I cleared the storage area. I still couldn't solve the problem

and this is extremely annoying.

Please help :'(

Hey @nevzatyilmaz, thanks for asking in the Community!

Could you try changing the language of the app and your phone to English once?

See if that makes any difference. Let me know how that goes.

@amayy      nothing has changed. It's annoying that it suddenly happens and I can't find a solution...

[nevzatyilmaz]

it didn't work 😞

Hey @nevzatyilmaz,

Thanks for your replies and for all the info shared.

Keep in mind all users should only download the app from our official website/authorized stores. This way, we can advise adequate alternatives for possible issues. Installing the older unofficial versions of the app can present further problems.

That being said, and as mentioned before in this thread, are you running some custom launcher to change the appearance of the home screen on your device? If yes, we'd suggest disabling it and using the built-in home screen of your device to see if you noticed any difference.

On another note, if you use a customize font for your device, we'd suggest disabling it as well. Another user mentioned here that changing the font for the default ones on their device made a difference.

Lastly, we'd recommend checking if perhaps there are some pending updates for the OS of your device. If yes, try installing them.

Keep us in the loop!

[nevzatyilmaz]

Yes! I've been using a different font and I just returned the default one and it works. Thank you 🙏🏻 😊

Hello 

Can any of you tell me how to get the social? It is missing in my spotify account. I want to publish a playlist but it wont let me so I was wondering if you can help me.

Hey @Ellie52,

Thanks for reaching out!

Looking at the screenshot you sent over, it seems like you might be using the Web Player. Keep in mind that not all settings are available on the Web version of Spotify. We can recommend heading over to the desktop app or mobile app for more settings and functions. You can also check which devices that support the app on this page.

On another note, if you'd like to add a playlist to your profile, you should still be able to do it directly through the Web Player (and on the app). Simply right-click the playlist in question > select Add to profile. You can find more details on how to share a playlist here 🙂

Hope this helps & feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
