Spotify app
Users on Twitter are now asking Spotify and Spotify Stars about the bug that pesters Android users whenever using the application and its features. Several Spotify users on the Android platform asked why their Now Playing bar on the app disappears from the interface and prevents them from playing, pausing, or skipping to the next song.
The user said that he had to uninstall Spotify to stop the music, as there are no music controls on this bug.
Spotify Stars addresses the issue by asking users to reinstall the app and see if it has already fixed it. The online entity also asked about the make and model where it is malfunctioning, with the users mostly saying it is on the Android platform.
Spotify said that this is currently under investigation.

What is Happening on Spotify
Spotify's streaming app for music and podcasts became controversial earlier this year because of the Joe Rogan and Neil Young issue about the content that circulates on the platform.
Fast forward to several months later, Spotify only released COVID-19 labels and provided guidelines on the issue that a particular content creator brings to the platform.
The company also improves on its streaming features, focusing on offering a new Car Mode that will help users access their music while driving or connecting to the vehicle's stereo.
The new feature revamps the app's interface when it notices that a person connects to the car's head unit, offering more accessible access to songs and app controls.
The Swedish streaming giant faced a lot over the past months, and the company will continue to see roadblocks and bugs that will affect its systems as they continue its operations. There will be fixes coming for the public to enjoy, utilizing the company's feature regarding the features coming to the platform for streaming needs.
