Hello,
I've been getting an error message for the last couple of days whenever trying to share a song on facebook. Spotify says "cannot post to Facebook. The post cannot be sent because the connection to Facebook failed"
I've always been able to use this feature in the last and now it doesn't work from my iPhone, nor my iPad. I've activated the "show activity" option on spotty, doesn't make a difference
Also tried logging in with my Facebook account, no changes
Also checked in the iPhone settings whether spotty was allowed access to Facebook (in settings > Facebook) but spotify doesn't appear in the list of apps that have requested access to my Facebook account
Lastly, I've checked privacy settings on Facebook and spotify is enabled and is authorized to post on my profile.
Any ideas on how to solve this? It used to work perfectly. Last time I used it was Sunday...
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Same here,
Can't share a song on my facebook timeline or on a friends' timeline
Seems to work on whatsapp.
Is there a setting that I need to adjust in facebook ??

Hi, i´m having the same problem since yesterday. I changed my facebook pasword and I thought that has the problem... I´ve already checked to log in from the web in spotify.com and have no problems, it just happens when try to post a song. Btw, sorry my bad english
having the same issue - i thought it was associated with my new iPhone but tried it on my old one, which still works to play using wireless but receiving same error.
additionally, when I copy the URL from spotify and try to paste it directly in to Facebook, I get an 'upload failed' message.

I don't think so - my old phone is still on the old iOS and I'm getting the same error. I think something must have changed with FB.

Same here! I post songs to a music share group and cannot post anything with the play thumbnail, the URL works but anything with a preview denys my post from the app or browser.

Same here. Every time i try to post a playlist on facebook, i keep getting "there was a problem updating your status. please try again in a few minutes." Unsuccessful on ios too.
Spotify is aware of this problem right now. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Having same issue with my S4 when I try to share what I am listening to on FB: "Status update failed"
it's working!!! thank you, spotify!
It seems the problem of posting to Facebook has just been fixed! I tried it both on latest version of OS X and iOS 8. Hope everbody's is working ok too!
