Spotify Application Bug Disrupts Premium Customers By Appearing Ads

JAKARTA Spotify is one of the popular and widely used music streaming applications. This platform is in great demand, either because subscription packages are free or paid Premiums.

The main reason someone subscribes to Spotify Premium is to avoid ads. Spotify displays a lot of ads in the free version so the music listening experience can be disrupted. Therefore, there is no choice but to subscribe.

However, Spotify recently experienced problems that actually bothered Premium users. Not only disturbing, but this problem makes some users feel in vain for subscribing because they still find ads in paid versions.

This problem has arisen since last February, according to the Android Authority report. Although not many users have experienced this problem, a third of Spotify Premium subscribers are known to get ads.

Apparently, this bug has expanded and is getting more and more difficult to control. Even though the problem has emerged since last February, users still get advertisements even though they have subscribed. Spotify also only gave a statement after this issue was widely discussed.

Spotify says it has provided improvements to the problem. In fact, users will continue to view promotional messages and content, especially podcasts, but ads that really interfere with the user experience have been removed.

"We have good news from our team for a fix to the case when Premium users see ads while listening to music have been applied and you will see the difference soon," Spotify said.

If you are one of the affected Spotify Premium users, you can update the application to get a fix. However, if the problem doesn't work out, you need to make a follow-up report to the company.
