- Spotify Premium offers ad-free playback, but some subscribers have reportedly received ads nonetheless.
- The music streaming service says it’s aware of the issue and is investigating the user reports.
- The company has since issued a statement confirming a fix has been rolled out.
Update: February 13, 2025 (2 PM ET): Spotify has now offered an update confirming the issue’s resolution. In a statement on its community forum, the company wrote:
Hey everyone,
Thanks for the patience while this was being investigated! We have good news from our teams – a fix for the instances where Premium users noticed ads when listening to music has been deployed and you should notice a difference right away. It’s worth keeping in mind, however, that it is expected that both free & Premium users may still see ads when listening to podcasts.
