Spotify App No Play Button

1. Force Close Spotify and Re-Open It

Click Play Queue in the left-hand sidebar, then the History tab. History gets erased if you exit Spotify though, so make sure you do this before you close the program. To create a radio station: Click the Create New Station button on the top-right of the main Spotify Radio window. Spotify updated its interface last week, and people are upset. A new update has reorganized the mobile app’s button layout, pushing the 'Repeat' and 'Go to queue' buttons into a submenu. Sep 04, 2018 Spotify’s Play Button is like a mini player; simply click to start streaming Spotify content anywhere online. Play Button transfers Spotify content – albums, tracks, artists, playlists, and now podcasts, too – to your website or social page, making it easy for anyone already logged into Spotify to start listening immediately.

Force closing the app and relaunching it eliminates several temporary problems. In case Spotify is stuck or not letting you scroll the list of songs or use the controls, it is advisable to quit and re-open it.

  1. On iPhone with Face ID, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold. On iPhone with the Home button, quickly double press it.
  2. From the app switcher, drag the Spotify app card up to quit it.
  3. After a few seconds, relaunch Spotify.

2. Check Your Internet Connectivity

Secondly, verify that your iPhone has an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.

Restart your Spotify App. Step 1: Go ahead and Log Out from your Spotify account by heading to. The change happened with the new Spotify App update. How I used to be able to see and remove songs from my Queue using the previous Spotify App: On the 'song' page, the play queue used to be accessable (to view the queue and/or delete songs from the queue) in the upper right corner, a button that looks like 3 lines on top of each other.

For this, open the Settings app and tap on Wi-Fi. Tap on an available network to connect to it.

Similarly, inside the Settings app, tap on Cellular and see to it that the toggle for Cellular Data is enabled. On this screen, let’s further ensure that mobile data isn’t disabled specifically for Spotify. To check this, scroll down the ‘CELLULAR DATA’ section and make sure Spotify’s toggle is enabled.

After performing one or both the above steps, open Safari and visit a webpage, if it loads, that means the device has working internet connectivity.

3. Check Spotify Server Status

In rare situations, Spotify may not work globally, or there may be an outrage only in your region.

The easiest way to check is by visiting Spotify Status on Twitter. To know about the Spotify status in your particular region, visit sites like DownDetector. You may also search for ‘Spotify Server Status‘ on Google, Bing, or any other search engine.

4. Log Out and Log In Again

Play
  1. Open the Spotify app and tap on Home, if not already. From the top right corner, tap on the Settings icon.
  2. Scroll down, tap on LOG OUT, and confirm.
  3. Now force close the app (explained above). Next, relaunch Spotify and log in using your credentials.

The steps above also help if you have recently upgraded to Spotify Premium, and it does not reflect or stops working correctly.

5. Restart Your Device

When you restart your iPhone or iPad, several small app issues and temporary software-level problems are repaired successfully.

It is a good idea to have the latest version of the app on your iPhone. To update, long press on the App Store icon and select Updates. Tap on UPDATE next to Spotify, if visible.

From the Home screen, long press on the Spotify app icon and tap on Delete App → Delete.

Next, long press on the App Store icon and tap on Search. Type ‘Spotify‘ and tap on the download icon. After this, log in to the app, and it should work like a charm!
