Lyrics button disappeared

There have been lyrics on certain songs (Rammstein - Zeit, Sonne, Mutter, etc for example) but a few days ago the lyrics button disappeared from these songs.

 

Rebooted the phone, changed the location to Germany, but nothing helped.

 

Basically, no non-english songs have lyrics available (no microphone icon next to any non-English song, nor is there the lyrics button when the songs are playing)

Hello there @ljopi87

We don’t have lyrics to all the song we have in our catalogue. 

Some lyrics are just not available yet, but don’t worry, 

they might come back soon!

Where are the lyrics of all the songs now for free users?

@Fev If you are a free user of Deezer, or are using version 8.0.8 of Android (or older) or iOS 10.8 (or older), you will not be able to access lyrics. Free users will be redirected to purchase a subscription plan, so you still have a chance to view lyrics!

Hi, 

Had the same problem, yesterday I was listening to Craig David 7 days and there were lyrics, I was delighted to discover them!

Today, no more lyrics button, simply disappeared for this song, but available for other songs.

I've cleared up the cache memory, reboot the phone, no way, they have simply vanished 😢

How comes? Could you do anything about it. 

BTW I pay for the service. 

Thanks for your help

@Elize For legal reasons, we are no longer able to display the lyrics of songs from certain repertoires on our service.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hello,

 

This is actually an issue that has been going on for several months now. Its a weird bug, because I know that the lyrics is still available for the songs, because if you are very very lucky it does actually seem to show up sometimes, but most of the time the lyrics is not showing up. Every single day more lyrics is disappearing, but sometimes (doesn't happen a lot) the lyrics for a song comes back. ​@Jaime.Deezer I've tagged you in the post where I have been talking with Greg about this issue a while ago. Maybe you can find some information there that will help y'all fix the issue. As I stated in the original post, this started happening after a certain update of the app, which is the exact same update that started the fallback issue. At that time if would downgrade to a certain version of the app, all the bugs, including the disappearing lyrics, would go away. That doesn't seem to work anymore tho
