Spotify have good feature to sync play status on devices and continue current playing on new device: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Implemented-Ideas/Resume-playing-on-different-device/idi-p/15185
Will be good to see same feature in Deezer too.

Big issue - Deezer doesn’t continue playback of the shuffled songs or playlist you last played before app closure. It’s really frustrating that you have to shuffle again and listen to tracks you’ve recently listened to when you reopen the app. I’m considering going back to Spotify for this reason.
Go!!
I am trying out Deezer (premium) to see how it compares to my current (premium) spotify account.
So far i do like it. Nice and easy UI, good assortment of songs, Flow etc.
But there are things holding me back from switching.
1) The syncing between devices.
This function I use a lot.
If i am on my computer doing some fullscreen stuff, I use my phone to remotly control spotify.
It is way easier to quickly add songs to your favourites/playlist, skip a song, switch playlist etc. instead of keep switching between screens/programs on my computer.
Also when I use spotify on my Google Home I can quickly add a song that i hear to a playlist via my phone.
2) Talking about Google Home, when will it be integrated into other countries?
These two points are a huge miss and dealbreakers for me.
Is there any news on these features?
On spotify it's called Spotify Connect.
You will see exactly the same song and playbar on each device you are logged in.
So while listening to a song on your pc, you can use your phone as a remote control to for example skip a few seconds of the song or change a song.
It will also show a list of available devices.
For example tapping on "Your phone" in the list will play music through your phone speaker.
Tapping on "Desktop" in the list will play music on desktop.
Tapping on "Livingroom" in the list will cast music to livingroom speaker (This function is already available in Deezer).
I used a feature frequently in Spotify that I really miss in Dezzer which is to continue my list of songs from where I stopped on different devices.
When I'm listening to music on my smartphone and pausing to listen to the computer, I can not.
It's a suggestion for improvement that I think is very important.
Thanks.
Please vote for the idea here 😉
We have forwarded this feature to the relevant team and they have told us that we are working on this and hope to have this implemented ;)
Hi,
It's been almost a year (!) since your reply. Any updates on this? It seems pretty clear that lots of users are interested in this feature, so why is this being ignored for so long?
And users are asking for a year now.
Wow.
If I accidently close the app, the queue I carefully crafted is lost. It would be nice to have the same queue after restarting, not the default one.
Thanks
We're working on the feature, yes.
I've moved your comment here, please add your vote 😉
Thanks for the feedback. It's always better to do it natively, yes. But it will take some time to get to that level and having a multiplatform app at the moment makes it easier to get deezer available to everyone.
If there is already a way of making this happen, please tell me how to do it, because the only way I can (eventually) listen to a whole playlist is to set the tracks alphabetically and then try and remember which song I listened to last.
I hope I understood you correctly. I've moved your comment here so that you can check our newly implemented idea. If you haven't found the option in your app's settings or if you have feedback to give, please let me know
Thank you for explaining it in more detail. I'll feed that back to the right team here
Is it possible to continue playing the music on my laptop from where it stopped in my phone?
If so how?
If not, that’s a major feature to stay in Spotify.
All the votes have been transferred into this idea.
It exists now but I forgot where i saw it. I turned it off but now want to turn it back on.
