I may be dreaming, but Facebook's latest feature is giving me some serious mid-2000s vibes. Remember back in, like, 2005 when you had a MySpace profile? I know, it seems like ancient history. There are some things about MySpace I'll never forget, like adding songs to my profile. When I found out that Facebook has been rolling out a way to add music to account profiles, I started reminiscing way back when to the good ol' days of MySpace. If you're curious about how the new feature works, here's how to add Spotify songs to your Facebook profileto relive your MySpace days.
Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know. Find out how to set up and use Spotify. Learn about features, troubleshoot issues, and get answers to questions. Everything you need to stay in tune. Music for every moment. Play, discover and share for free. Hi Spotify, I have an exisiting spotify free account which I wanted to link to my facebook account. My exsisitng spotify account is set up on a yahoo email address and my facebook account is linked to a gmail account. When I intall the facebook app it automatically uses the gmail info to setup.
Log into Facebook to start sharing and connecting with your friends, family, and people you know. Unlink Spotify from the Facebook App. If you don’t use Facebook in the browser, you can also disconnect Spotify using the Facebook app for either Android or iOS. Open the Facebook app on your phone. I'm also unable to login via facebook (and unable to get the premium via mobile app since i need to change my credit card data). Trying to log in by web player just hangs in there (the loading icon appears and nothing happens). Same stuff happens when I'm trying to log in into the spotify.com website. I'm using Chrome on Windows 8.1.
Have you checked your Facebook profile today? If not, you might want to. Facebook is rolling out a way to add songs to your Facebook profile using the Facebook mobile app. This all started at the end of 2018, according to Facebook, and was announced in a newsroom updated on March 13, 2019. Basically, the social media site is granting users the capability to add songs to their Facebook profiles. From there, users will be able to click through to the full song and listen to it on Spotify, per Facebook.
According to Facebook, not all users have access to the latest musical functionality just yet. But, hold tight because it's coming. According to Facebook, 100 percent of all users worldwide should be able to add songs to their Facebook profiles in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, you might as well become familiar with how to update your Facebook profile when the time finally comes. Here's how to do it.
The new feature is currently only available on the Facebook mobile app for iOS and Android devices, according to the social media company. Once you open the app, you will see a 'Music' section toward the top of your Facebook Profile. You'll see a button that says 'Add Song.' Once you click on the button, a list of songs will appear. You can easily search through the song list to find the tune that speaks to you. There are millions of songs to choose from.
The best part? You can add as many as you want to your Facebook Profile. It's like a rolling playlist of jams that you can share with all of your friends. And, you can choose one song to pin at the top of your profile (sort of like when you pin a tweet to the top of your Twitter account so people can see it first). You'll be able to see the artist name, album art, and song name on your profile, according to Facebook.
Now, when you listen to a song on someone else's profile, you can listen to a sample of it on Facebook. If you like it, you can add it to your profile, too. What makes this new feature so cool is that it will direct you from Facebook over to Spotify. You'll be able to listen to the full song and check out other music for the band or singer.
At the time of publication, Spotify is the only subscription service that is compatible with the latest Facebook Profile roll out. But, the social network said that more music streaming services will be added in the weeks to come. It did not specify what services it will include, but I've got my fingers crossed that one of the providers is Apple Music.
This new feature is giving me total MySpace vibes. I was always guilty of swapping out my song choice on a very frequent basis, so I promise I'll try to tone it down this time around. This is an awesome way to find out about new music and see what your friends are listening to. It's also a great way to share what sorts of music you're digging right now.
I don't have the feature just yet, but I'll definitely be loading it up with the songs from albums like Hozier's 'Wasteland, Baby!' and Maggie Rogers' 'Heard It In A Past Life.' It goes without saying that this is a total upgrade from MySpace back in the day, but I'm loving the similarities.
- An issue with the Facebook SDK on Friday morning is causing dozens of iOS apps to crash.
- Facebook says that it is “aware and investigating an increase in errors on the iOS SDK which is causing some apps to crash.” No timeline has been offered for a fix.
- Some of the apps affected by the outage include Spotify, Tinder, Pinterest, and Venmo.
If, like me, you woke up Friday morning and discovered that half of your apps were crashing as soon as you opened them, don’t fret — it’s not just your iPhone. At around 7:00 a.m. ET on Friday, Facebook acknowledged “an increase in errors on the iOS SDK which is causing some apps to crash.” If an app uses your Facebook profile to log you in, chances are that you won’t be able to open it on your iPhone right now.
While I can open the Facebook app on my iPhone, a ton of other apps and games crash as soon as I tap on the icon, including Spotify, TikTok, Booksy, Venmo, Mario Kart Tour, Arena of Valor, and more. As DownDetector shows, there are a number of additional apps and services are being affected as well.
A similar disaster occurred in May, during which “a new release of Facebook included a change that triggered crashes for some users in some apps using the Facebook iOS SDK.” The time between the first and the final update regarding that issue was about two hours, so it might be a bit before our devices start acting normally.
As of 8:00 a.m., Facebook hasn’t provided any updates, but we’ll share them here as soon as we see them.
UPDATE 1: Still nothing from Facebook, but The Verge has revealed one (somewhat complicated) method you could use to get your apps working again, if you just can’t stand it any longer. If you download Lockdown Apps from the App Store, hit cancel when it asks you to sign in, and press the “Firewall on” button at the top of the app, you can set up a VPN profile on your iPhone. Once you’ve set it up, skip the trial and your apps should work again.

UPDATE 2: It’s 9:48 a.m. ET — nearly three hours after the issue was confirmed — and there still haven’t been any updates, but all of the apps that were giving me trouble this morning appear to be working again.

UPDATE 3: Facebook has finally fixed the problem, and provided the following note at around 10:30 a.m. ET: “Earlier today, a code change triggered crashes for some iOS apps using the Facebook SDK. We identified the issue quickly and resolved it. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
