Liked songs playlist isn't updating across different platforms

[Arthur_trsn]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an issue I've been having with my "Liked Songs" playlist on Spotify. It seems that the playlist isn't updating consistently across different platforms, including the Windows 11 app, the iOS app, and the web version.

Here are the current discrepancies in the number of songs displayed on each platform:

Windows 11: 468 songs
iOS: 352 songs
Web: 480 songs

As you can see, the number of songs varies quite a bit, and there are several missing tracks depending on which device I use.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, do you have any tips on how to resolve it? It’s pretty frustrating to have such an inconsistent experience across devices.

Same here. I noticed my top 5 songs I recently added on my phone were not showing up on my PC (Windows 11 app). Adding them to my library from PC changed the order on my phone and added them to my PC app Liked songs.
PC: 2,100 songs
iPhone: 2,094 songs
Web: 2,093 songs

Attached screenshots as proof. I know I'm not helping per se, but I'm not sure how to resolve this issue because what songs are missing?

Hi there @Arthur_trsn, @tdr1995,

Thanks for reaching out. We'll gladly help you sort this sync issue.

This is quite odd and we haven't seen any reports about this exact issue recently. Usually, the web player should have the accurate number, since it has direct communication with the servers, so most likely that number you see is the correct one. To force a sync across devices, please try the following:

1. Perform a full clean reinstall across all affected devices
2. Disable any VPNs you might be using
3. Log out and back in on the browser. Clear the browser cookies as well (at least the ones related to Spotify)

This should force a sync across all devices and get the same number across all of them.

Let us know how it goes.

I'm also having this issue, it's obviously not something they care about fixing.

Same issue here, started for me probably within the past few days

Just like one song on the device which is correctly displaying the number of songs then it resolves itself (my case was slightly different as it would not load on the device I had not opened for a long time)

I'm having similar issues as well. It is also weird, because it seems to sometimes even be selective between artists. Such as, if I like a song by one artist, it will populate the liked playlist across all devices, but if I like a song from a different artist, it refuses to sync properly.

I'm having the same issue across all my devices. I've tried offline mode and everything, but all my different devices are missing different amount of liked songs. Adding songs to my playlist reflects instantly across all devices, but liked songs refuses to update.

Hey folks, 

Apologies for the radio silence.

Are you able to transfer the playback between your devices using Spotify Connect? If yes, try liking a track, playing it from one device and then choosing from the device picker the device where it doesn't sync.

Let us know how it goes.
