My Question or Issue
After having updated to the latest version of the app (8.6.80) Spotify will stop playing a song after around 30 sec and "crash".
The app is still open in the background but the song will stop playing and if you reopen the app the song will be back to the starting point. (e.g. you start a song at 0:10 which plays until 0:40 at which point the app will crash and the music will stop. When you reopen the app the song is back to 0:10)

Same here. Crashes on iPhone 12 Pro and iPad Pro.
Same here with iPhone 12 Pro, version 8.6.80.1180, tried uninstall, reinstall, reboot, 200Gigs of free space, started about an hour ago.
I have the same issue on an iPhone XS Max. I tried rebooting my iPhone and also reinstalling Spotify and I still had the same issue.
I'm having the same issue. App is pretty much unusable right now so I hope they get on this right away.
Same issue since this afternoon. App crashes after about 20-30 seconds. However, if I keep the app opened, it works. Hopefully it’ll get fixed soon, because this isn’t really a workable situation.
me too-
iphone 11 14.8.1
I literally watched as the music stopped playing and the Spotify media player on my lock screen turned into a blank generic grey one with no info. When I reopen the app it’s back to some random point a few seconds into the song.
I have tried a full clean reinstall and checked to make sure it wasn’t just because of my AirPods (it’s not, it crashes without any Bluetooth devices too)
It started a couple hours ago for me, too. I reinstalled, logged out and logged back in, and I rebooted my phone but nothing seems to be working. I have iOS 15 and an XR, if I leave the app open it's fine but that's not really a solution. 😞
