Auto-start on login

Auto start on login

I’m on a Mac and recently I get a notification when I start the desktop app that it has added a setting and enabled that Deezer will auto-start every time I start my computer. If I set the Deezer in-app-setting to not auto-start and remove deezer from login items under Mac settings, it will just add it again and set the in-app setting to auto-start. I’d prefer to decide on my own that to start on not to start on my computer, what’s going on Deezer?

Hi ​@dine909 ​@Jonkzy ​@mattyq I have reported the problem and our devs are aware already.
I’ve been told that a fix is on the way and will be available on the next version of the desktop app coming soon.
Thanks for your patience and apologies for the inconvenience

Thanks Jaime, appreciate the swift feedback.

This has been going on for such a long time, and it’s evidently not OS related. I have Windows 10 and have had to turn off the setting every time I launch the app so it doesn’t auto-start when I next turn on the computer. It’s devious and unfriendly. And annoying!

I’m so fustrated with this issue...it’s got to the point now when, after many years of subscription, I’m considering leaving Deezer for an alternative music provider. Totally unacceptable.

@Jaime.Deezer  Still does not work despite update. Any news from the devs?

Other users have reported similar issues with different apps recently — possibly related to how macOS handles login items in newer versions.

So, now four months later (actually quite a bit more!), this is still happening. This is pretty aggressive behaviour on Deezer's part. Could it be that Deezer wants to have its app open to track our usage and activity, and thus why this "bug" it taking so long to "fix."

This is really irritating now and repeat it day after day after day for a year. So, could you fix it, please? Unfortunately, I will canceled my account after decade of using because of that.

This is beyond a joke.  Its now been 9 months since the issue was raised!

This is getting incredibly annoying now. There are complaints of this nearly a year old and replies saying devs are aware and fixing it, which they are clearly not! There have been several updates in this time and still not been adressed. Its quite worrying that any app can add itself to login items especially after being removed manually. This needs sorting ASAP. If it persists much longer I will be moving platform and taking my money elsewhere.

Still have the same problem. Worst devs in the world, the worst app in the world.
I’m still using it because just one functionality that others don’t have - Flow.
But I’m really close to switching to Spotify.

Still no update on this ​@Jaime.Deezer ? In the year your devs have been aware of this potential security issue they have not managed to fix it, but have managed to make it possible to change the colour of the app icon on your phone. What a joke! Sort it out!
