One thread for anything not working, so it doesn't get lost in the feed.

Check these first, they cover most of what gets reported:

1. Spotify disconnected itself. Spotify's side, not yours. Reconnect under Settings > Connected services.
2. Friend activity frozen or showing "the end". Force close the app fully and reopen. Report it if it's still stuck after an hour.
3. Widget blank or showing old songs. Remove the widget and re-add it. iOS caches widgets hard.
4. Apple Music showing repeat counts you didn't earn. Known Apple Music reporting quirk.
5. Daily stage, blind ranking, or leaderboard missing. These reset on a schedule and can lag a few hours.
6. Invites not unlocking anything. The invited person has to actually install and open the app before it counts.

Still broken? Reply with all of these:

• Platform and version: iOS 18.2 or Android 15, plus your app version
• What you did:
• What happened instead:
• Screenshot if you have one:

Reports without a platform and version can't be actioned. This isn't an official support channel, but the team reads this thread.

New week, new listening buddies. Post below and go add a few people while you're here, this only works if it goes both ways.

Copy this template so people know what they're getting:

• Link: your i.airbuds.fm link
• Top artists right now:
• Genres:
• Looking for: similar taste / completely different taste / anyone at all

A few things that actually get you adds:

• Sort this thread by new and add the people at the bottom. They're the ones nobody has reached yet.
• Name actual artists. "Good music taste" tells nobody anything.
• Reply to people you add so they know to add you back.

Standalone "add me" posts get almost no adds compared to this thread. This is the place.

Recaps are in. Drop yours below.

Screenshot your weekly recap, wrapped, top artists, music sign, blind ranking, whatever the app gave you this week.

To get replies instead of silence, add one line of context. "Here's my recap" gets nothing. Any of these gets a conversation:

• What surprised you about it
• Which song you're embarrassed about
• One thing you want roasted
• A number range so people can pick a song from your list

Feel free to guess things about people from their stats. That's half the fun.

hey it's the Airbuds team 👋

if your Spotify randomly disconnected in the last day, you're not crazy and you didn't break anything. Spotify changed something on their end that logged a ton of apps out at once, Airbuds included. your listening history is totally fine, nothing's lost.

the fix takes like 5 seconds: open Airbuds, hit reconnect, done. you're back.

also pls tell your friends to reconnect too 😭 half of them are probably disconnected rn and don't even know it!

sorry for the random chaos, thanks to everyone who said something 🫶
