Some Pixel users in Canada are currently facing a frustrating issue with Spotify that is causing their phones to get stuck in a crash loop. Reports on Reddit highlighted by Android Authority indicate that owners of Pixel 6, 7, and 8 series devices are experiencing system UI crashes when attempting to play a song on Spotify. The problem seems to be triggered by a Spotify update released on July 2.
Users have mentioned different experiences with the crash loop, with some noting that their phones became excessively hot during the process, while others reported that their devices shut down on their own. Fortunately, it appears that a force restart can help users exit the loop, although this is not a permanent solution.
Various workarounds have been suggested by Redditors to address the issue, including disabling Spotify notifications, clearing the app’s cache, and even uninstalling the app altogether. These solutions may work for some users, but it’s clear that a permanent fix from Spotify is needed to resolve the bug and prevent future occurrences.
As Spotify works on identifying and resolving the issue, impacted Pixel users in Canada and beyond are hopeful for a speedy resolution to this frustrating bug.
