Hey, @Kale133738 , Thanks for reaching out. Do you have another device you can test with to see if you experience the same behavior there? You can also ask a friend or a relative to temporarily log in to their account on your device and check if everything looks good on their end. This will help us determine if this is account- or device-related. If you haven't already, it's worth rebooting your device as well. Should the issue persist, include the exact version of Spotify you're running in your next reply. Keep us posted.
