- When you're trying to log in to Spotify with Facebook from a new smartphone you might get a login error.
- There are two solutions that you can use to quickly fix this and we explain how in this article.
Spotify is currently one of the most popular audio streaming platforms, very easy to use and access anywhere. You can use either a free, limited plan of Spotify or the premium plan, with ad-free unlimited access to songs and playlists.
Spotify is account mandatory, so you have to create an account on the platform in order to use the services. Or you can log in using Facebook or Apple, in which case the provider will get access to some of your personal details.
When you log in using Facebook, especially on a new device, you sometimes get the error message A Facebook error has occurred. Please try again.
