Spotify comes with a Friend Activity feature that lets us see what our friends are listening to and shows them what we’re listening to in the Friend Activity pane.

The users can’t find the Friend Activity section at its respective location in the Spotify app.

1. Reboot the Affected Device: The very first solution is to reboot the device (📱) on which you’re facing this issue. Simply restarting the device can sometimes resolve a significant issue in seconds. We hope this fixes the problem with your Spotify app.

2. Restart the Spotify App: Similar to rebooting the device, restarting the Spotify app (🔄) can also help in resolving the issue. It can be possible that this is happening because of a minor problem with the app. If it’s the same, restarting the app can quickly fix it.

7. Exclude the Spotify App From Firewall

It could be possible that your Windows Firewall 🛡️ is preventing the Spotify app from reaching its servers. In that case, we suggest removing the Spotify app from the integrated firewall’s protection list. This will ensure that Spotify can connect with its server to work properly. You can follow the below-mentioned steps to exclude the Spotify app from the system’s firewall.

 

For Desktop Users (Windows & macOS)

9. Clear the Spotify App Cache

All apps store temporary data, such as thumbnails, scripts, video snippets, etc., on our devices. These temporary files help the app perform certain tasks faster to offer a seamless user experience. But, with time, the cache becomes ineffective and interrupts other app functions. In that case, you can try clearing the Spotify app cache (🗑️) and see if it resolves the issues.

Follow the below-mentioned steps to clear the Spotify app cache files in a few steps:

 

For Mobile Users (Android & iOS)

1. Firstly, open the Spotify app on your smartphone, and move to the application’s Settings (⚙️) section.

 

2. Now, please move to the Storage section in Settings, search for the Clear cache option, and tap on it to clear the app cache.

 

3. Lastly, tap the Clear cache (🗑️) button in the Clear cache pop-up to confirm deleting the app cache.

 

For Desktop Users (Windows & macOS)

For Windows

1. First, press the Windows + E keyboard shortcut to open Windows Explorer and move to Spotify’s Storage folder by entering the below-mentioned path in the Search Bar.

C:\Users\(EnterYourWindowsPorfileUserNameHere)\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage\

E.g.: C:\Users\Harsh\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage\

 

2. Lastly, delete all the files (🗑️) present in the Storage folder and then restart the Spotify app (🔄) on the system.

For Mac

1. To start, open the Finder utility on your Mac, select the Go to option, and then move to the Library folder.

2. Move to the Caches subfolder in the Library folder and then delete these two mentioned files (🗑️) from the folder.

• com.spotify.Client
• com.spotify.client.helper files.

3. Next, head back and proceed to the Application Support folder and delete the Spotify app folder from it.

4. Now, again open Go to utility using the Command + Shift + G keyboard shortcut and type enter ~/library/ in the search field.

5. Next, type Spotify in the search field, select Search: Library, and then delete all the files (🗑️) you can see in the folder.

All the corrupted cache must be deleted now. Now, open the Spotify app on your device and check the issue’s status with the Friend Activity feature. 

 

 

10. Use Spotify in Your Desktop Browser

If you’re using Spotify on your desktop, and the issue is still not fixed, then you can try this fix. Spotify also has a web player 🌐 that lets you listen to music anytime without installing the app. It’s exactly similar to the Spotify app regarding features, interface, and everything.

But the only difference is you’ll require a browser to access the web player. Also, there is a high chance that you won’t face this issue while using Spotify on your browser. You can use Spotify Web Player until the app’s issue is fixed.

 

For Desktop Users (Windows & macOS)

1. First, open the browser on the desktop, type spotify.com in the search bar, and press Enter to visit Spotify’s official website. 

 

2. Next, click the Log in option in the top right corner of the screen and log in with your Spotify account.

 

That’s it!

 

 

11. Clear Your Browser’s History & Data

If the issue also exists with the Spotify web player, we suggest clearing the browser data and history (🗑️) from the settings. Clearing the browser’s data and history will refresh the browser and ensure all the issues with the browser have been resolved. You can follow the below-mentioned steps to clear your browser’s cache files with ease:

 

For Desktop Users (Windows & macOS)

For Windows (Google Chrome)

1. First, open the Google Chrome browser on your Windows PC and move to the History section of the browser using the Ctrl + H keyboard shortcut (⌨️).

 

2. Now, select Clear browsing data in the left sidebar and then select Clear browsing data (🗑️) in the Privacy and security (🔐) section.

 

3. Lastly, select All time (⏰) from the Time range dropdown, check all the checkboxes (✅), including cached images files, and then click on the Clear data option.

 

For macOS (Safari)

1. To start, open the Safari browser on your Mac and press the Command + Shift + Delete keyboard shortcut to open the Clear Browsing Data section.

2. Lastly, click on the Reset Safari option, check all the options (✅), and then click on the Reset option to delete all the cache and cookies data stored on the browser.

Once done, open the Spotify Web Player on your web browser, re-enable the See what your friends are playing toggle, and check if the panel is visible now in its respective place.
