How to Show Spotify Status on Discord Mobile

To show Spotify status on Discord mobile, connect your Spotify account in Discord's User Settings under Connections, then enable both "Display on Profile" and "Display Spotify as your status." Once these toggles are on, the song you're playing on Spotify will appear as your Discord status so friends can see what you're listening to.

How to show Spotify status on Discord mobile

The official way to show your Spotify status on Discord mobile requires linking your accounts through Discord's settings. This integration lets you share your current track with friends, making it easier to discover music and connect over what you're listening to. Spotify mobile features like this one are built directly into the Discord app.

Open the Discord mobile app and tap your profile picture or avatar.
Go to User Settings (the cog wheel icon).
Select Connections from the menu.
Tap the Spotify tile.
Log in to your Spotify account when prompted and authorize the connection.
After linking, turn on both "Display on Profile" and "Display Spotify as your status" under User Settings > Connections.

Once these settings are active, your currently playing Spotify track will show in your Discord profile and as your status. No additional steps in the Spotify app are required according to the official Discord help pages.

Why your Spotify status isn't showing

If your Spotify status does not appear on Discord mobile, the most common cause is that Discord is detecting a game you are playing. Discord's official FAQ states that a detected game takes precedence over Spotify, so the game status will show instead of your music. To fix this, close any games or disable game detection in Discord's settings.

You can also try re-authorizing the connection by disconnecting and reconnecting Spotify in User Settings > Connections. Check that your Spotify account privacy settings allow listening activity to be shared. A Spotify community reply says mobile status sharing requires Device Broadcast Status in Spotify’s app settings, but this is not in official help pages. The official pages do not list any specific iPhone or Android version requirements, so updating both apps may help if you encounter issues.
