Several Spotify users encountering issues on Android report consistent app crashes upon attempting to open it. As per insights from 9to5Google, the culprit appears to be the latest beta update, version 8.9.2.169, triggering these frequent crashes before the app fully launches.
Affected users voiced their frustrations on X (formerly Twitter), seeking assistance for the persistent crashing problem. One user on Android 14/Pixel 7 Pro specifically addressed Spotify Support, seeking clarification on known issues, stating, "@SpotifyCares, are there any known issues with the Spotify app on Android 14/Pixel 7 Pro? The app keeps crashing on my phone unlike before."
Another user tweeted directly to Spotify, highlighting the issue after the recent update, stating, "@Spotify, your latest update seems to have introduced a bug. The app refuses to launch and keeps crashing."
Similarly, a different user shared their experience, seeking resolution from Spotify UK, mentioning, "Hey @SpotifyUK, the latest Android beta version keeps crashing on my Pixel 8 Pro. Please investigate #spotify."
While these challenges persist, Spotify is actively experimenting with an innovative AI-driven playlist feature. This new "AI playlists" feature, currently under testing, aims to leverage AI technology and prompts to assist users in crafting personalized playlists.
Early glimpses of this feature were spotted by some users, with TechCrunch receiving confirmation from Spotify about the ongoing test. However, details regarding the intricacies of the AI technology employed in these playlists remain undisclosed by Spotify at this stage.
