Favoriting multiple tracks is slow and annoying

Question

I have some issues with how the process for favoriting a song is handled. First of all, it takes at least a good second for the heart to fill, probably because it doesn’t actually happen until the server confirms the change. Second, EVERY song I favorite triggers a notification on windows and a toast on android which is INCREDIBLY annoying! That is something I could imagine implementing for testing purposes, but in reality, when I go through an album to favorite the songs I like it is kind of awful to use. I mainly play music from my favorite tracks, and since songs in favorite tracks also have a huge effect on auto generated playlists and flow I really want to use it.

Is there a way to flip this? To at least only get the notification / toast when something goes wrong? Surely the default should be that it works and you shouldn’t have to tell me that every time?

Hi ​@Recycle!Favoriting multiple tracks on Deezer feels slow because each "like" requires a server confirmation and often triggers an notification (toast/pop-up) on your device, interrupting the flow, especially when adding many songs from an album . This delay is due to server communication and excessive notifications, impacting performance when adding batches of music.Why it's slow:Server-Side Confirmation: The app has to send a request to Deezer's servers for each song to confirm the addition to your favorites, which takes a second or so.Excessive Notifications: Each successful favorite action often triggers a notification (like a Windows toast or Android pop-up), creating a disruptive and tedious experience when adding many songs.App/Device Performance: General app performance, data/cache issues, or even your internet connection can add to the lag.How to potentially improve it (or work around it):Clear Cache: Clearing your Deezer app's cache can sometimes resolve performance issues, though this may delete downloads.Update App/OS: Ensure you have the latest version of the Deezer app and your phone's operating system.Reset/Reinstall: A full app reset or reinstallation can fix underlying glitches.Disable Notifications (if possible): Reducing notifications might make the process less annoying, even if the server delay remains.
