  • Reports concentrate on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel devices, while the issue is not universal across all Android phones.
  • The app becomes unresponsive or crashes on certain Wi‑Fi networks but functions normally on mobile data.
  • Spotify support is directing affected users to troubleshoot their networks, including router restarts and DNS changes, noting a likely interaction with specific Wi‑Fi setups.
