Spotify Fixes Issue Causing Premium Subscribers to Hear Ads

Spotify had faced an issue that caused some of its Premium subscribers to encounter ads while playing music. Many users reported encountering ads over the past four weeks on the company’s community website. In a post on X, Spotify responded saying, “We’re aware of some issues with the app right now and are checking them out!” The community website shows the current status of the issue as ‘fixed’. As per the user reports on Spotify’s site, Premium users were left frustrated with the issue, leaving them to hear ads. Some users reported facing the issue even though the account is “premium and payment is up to date,” and some even demanded a refund.
