"Now Playing" song gets stuck on the same song

[mesosalpinx]

The song listed as currently playing gets stuck on one song. Any song that I play will show as the song that gets stuck, even though my laptop and amazon devices show the correct song that's playing. It fixes itself randomly, but I'm not sure how. Closing the app doesnt fix it. It just seems to go back to normal after several days of being stuck. It might be related to me using the Spotify app on my Samsung Active Watch 2 as a remote, since that makes the app open when ever my arm brushes anything. Sorry about the convoluted explanation. I've attached screenshots of the currently playing song and the playlist showing the song that's actually playing.

I also have the same issue. I did a totally clean uninstall and reinstall and it persists. Galaxy s9; and I've never owned a Samsung watch.

Started happening again. Song plays, bar not moving. The notification says spotify is trying to play the music. Uninstalled the app from my galaxy watch a week ago, so its not because of it.

Also happens to me (Spotify on latest Android 11). I do not have a smartwatch of any kind but use my car stereo (VW) via bluetooth regularly. Clean install only helped for a day or 2.

Same problem. I have reinstalled the app etc, don't own a Samsung watch, mentioned by some. Haven't changed devices or use of Spotify for years but this problem started recently and keeps happening every day now. Very frustrating as I can't see or change what's playing without shutting down everytime.
