I cannot see the 'listen activity' from one of my friends (i do follow her)

[#1]

So I can't see the listen activity from one of my friends, i have tried unfollowing her (and then following again). But nothing works, it might seem really stupid but we always look at what the other person is listening so i really want to be able to see it again.

Hey there,

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome.

We'd like you to know that we updated the Friend Activity default to private so that users have greater control over how their listening activity is shared with others on Spotify. Users that want to make their listening activity public, can turn sharing on in the Settings menu.
 

So in this case, both you and your friend have to take into the account the following:

• Make sure you're following users in the app, not just artists (kudos for checking if you already follow your friend!).
• The users you follow must have enabled permissions to share their listening activity under settings from their own accounts. That being said, it'd be worth if your friend checks if they have enabled the option in their settings.
• The users you follow must have listened to a track for at least 30 secs within the last week.
• You have enabled permissions to share your listening activity under settings as well.

Take into account Friend Activity might not update in real time. You can read more about it here and, If this behavior persists, you can follow the basic troubleshooting there.

Keep us in the loop!

My Question or Issue

I cannot see my one friend's listening activity even though we both follow each other; we both have listening activities on. I cleared my cache, reopened my app continuously times, deleted the app, and reinstalled it, but it still didn't work. What should I do?
