Had an issue with

Spotify

? Get a real response.

Spotify doesn’t offer phone support — but you’ve got effective digital options:

💬 Live Chat via Web/App
Navigate to Spotify Support Contact and click “Message us”. Start with the bot, then type “agent” or describe your problem to get a real person. Fastest response.

📧 Email Support
Email support@spotify.com if the chat doesn’t work or your issue is complex. Include your account email and a clear description. You’ll get an auto-reply with a case number.

💬 Twitter Support (@SpotifyCares)
Tweet or DM @SpotifyCares. Many users get fast replies. Ideal for billing/account issues.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Community Forum
Post on the Spotify Community if you’re experiencing a shared issue (e.g. playlist bug). Moderators sometimes escalate widespread complaints.

📱 In-App Support
Go to Settings → Support in the Spotify app. You’ll be redirected to the help site where you can start a complaint.

🔍 Pro Tip: If the chatbot sends help articles, say “this didn’t solve my issue” to trigger a human handover.

Here’s how Spotify typically handles your complaint:

⚡ Fast First Response

• Chat: replies within minutes.
  
  
• Email: within a few hours.
  
  
• Twitter: usually same-day.
  
  

📄 Case Tracking

• No dedicated case manager, but agents see your history.
  
  
• Save your case number (from email/chat).
  
  

🔧 Resolutions Offered

• Billing issues: Refunds for double charges or billing after cancellation.
  
  
• Account issues: Password resets, playlist recovery, account security checks.
  
  
• Tech bugs: Troubleshooting or escalation to developers.
  
  
• Content concerns: Logged as feedback, not always actionable.
  
  

🔄 Back-and-Forth Communication
You may talk to different agents — especially if your case is ongoing. Keep things clear and reference your case ID.

⏱ Timeframes
Most issues resolved in 24–48 hours. Complex tech problems may take longer.

📈 Escalation
If a bot or frontline agent can’t help, request escalation. Some users report better outcomes via supervisor review or internal technical team handoffs.

✅ Case Closure
Spotify will follow up to confirm resolution or send a survey. If they don’t hear from you, they may auto-close after a few days.

🎧 Billing Errors

• Charged after cancellation
  
  
• Double-billing
  
  
• Student/Family discounts not applied correctly
  🛠️ Often resolved quickly with refunds.
  
  

📵 Poor Support Access

• Hard to find a real person
  
  
• Bot loops
  
  
• Users stuck in the help article maze
  🧭 Use “I still need help” prompts or try email/Twitter.
  
  

🔐 Account Takeovers

• Hacked accounts
  
  
• Passwords changed without notice
  ✅ Spotify support typically restores access quickly.
  
  

💻 Technical App Issues

• Playback glitches
  
  
• App crashes
  
  
• Device compatibility problems
  📱 Support may offer reinstall advice or escalate to tech teams.
  
  

📢 Too Many Ads (Free Tier)

• Repetitive ads
  
  
• Frustration with shuffle-only playback
  🤷 These are by design; Premium removes them.
  
  

🎵 Missing Content

• Disappearing albums/songs
  
  
• Podcasts removed or limited
  📝 Logged as feedback — not always fixable immediately.
  
  

🧪 Interface or Feature Complaints

• Unwanted updates
  
  
• New Discovery features
  📣 Support logs these to internal product teams.
