The bar now features a glassy design with rounded edges\u2014at least, that\u2019s what it looks like when it actually shows up.<\/p>\n<p>If you run into this bug, I suggest restarting Spotify until the Now Playing bar returns. It\u2019s a temporary fix, but it\u2019s the only thing that\u2019s worked for me (and several users on Twitter, Reddit, and the Spotify support forum). Unfortunately, Spotify doesn\u2019t allow sites like APK Mirror to share older versions of its app, so downgrading to an older version of Spotify is difficult and risky.<\/p>\n<p>Your best bet is to wait for another Spotify update. The company <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.spotify.com%2Ft5%2FOngoing-Issues%2FNow-Playing-bar-missing-on-Android%2Fidi-p%2F5364978\">is aware of this bug<\/a> and working on a solution.
