Hi, i want to listen to a new release, the iOS deezer app shows me the album and songs but when I try to play them it says they‘re not available. My friend using Deezer in the same country also with Premium subscription can play the songs. Why is that?

Hello ​@burritokind,

That does sound unusual, but it can happen. A few things you might want to check:

  • Make sure neither of you is using a VPN or proxy (or connected to a network that does), since that can affect licensing restrictions (regional availability).

  • Cache issues: on iOS, logging out and back in often helps. On Android, you can clear the app cache in settings.

  • Confirm you’re both using the official Deezer app, not a modified version.

If none of these solve it, write back here and share more details.

I can’t answer your question, but it would help if you told us which artist and which song(s). Thanks!

Hi! It was the album Golden Hour Pt. 4 by ATEEZ,

i don‘t know what was wrong but a few hours later I could listen to the songs, it just took almost a day longer for he songs to become available to me.
