My Question or Issue

Everything on Spotify works fine UNTIL I try and click on the search bar. It immediately crashes the app completely and doesn’t even pull up the keyboard to let me attempt a search. Force closes instantly. I’ve signed in/out, deleted/reinstalled, updated, and cleared cache. I’ve pretty much tried everything and it still crashes everytime I attempt to click search. Thoughts?

My Issue

The app works completely fine until I use the search bar, when I click on a search result the app immediately crashes.

Spotify is fully updated to version 8.8.50. I have already tried logging in and out multiple times, restarting my phone, clearing cache, and deleting and reinstalling the app. My storage is also not full.

Logging in and out twice in a row temporarily fixed the issue but when I closed and reopened Spotify it happened again.

I’m having the same issue on iOS 15.1.1 on iPhone 12 mini. Must be a bug on early iOS 15 versions. Hopefully it’s fixed soon.

Same issue on iOS 16.5.1 - I can play the songs from an existing playlist, but tapping any search result causes the app to crash immediately.
Issue appeared today.

Same issue even on older iOS. I’m on 14.4 and I can’t even type anything into the search bar before it instantly crashes.

I have the same issue on iPhone iOS 15. I downgraded the app to version 8.8.0 and the issue went away.
