Web version 'Featured in' no longer visible

Why is the 'Featured in’ section no longer visible on the artist page for the web version of Deezer?

I use Windows and have used Chrome and Edge, both don't show the section.

The Android app and Desktop app still show the section, but I use the web version to search for recent features, not from the main artist. The apps are not useful for me because I can't filter out albums with various artists(compilations) and sort by release date at the same time, without opening every album individuality.

    Yeah, this is strange. ‘Featured In’ section is very useful

    I didn’t noticed this before, but yes, it seems to be gone on the web.

    For example I’ve tried Journey:

    On the Android app I can see Featured in but not on the web.

    Thanks for reporting this @jarnost @Dez U @awesomemac I have contacted our devs and asked why this is happening.
    As soon as I hear back from them I’ll give you an update.
    Thanks for your patience

    Actually there are more discography sections missing in the web client now. There used to be additional sections “Compilations”, “Split”, “Live”, “Featured” and “More”. As a result, for some artists the majority of releases are no longer displayed.

     I submitted a Deezer support ticket three weeks ago but it did not help. ☹️

    We had Albums, EPs, Singles, etc. sections until a few months ago.
    Then a "More albums" section appeared at the bottom of some artists' page, where Albums, EPs, Singles, etc. were shuffled and messy, and also never counted as their artists' latest release.
    They fixed this exact same issue three years ago or so.
    Now the "More albums" sections are gone again, and that's good, but:
    1) The "Featured in" section also vanished for all artists, and I do not know if it was by accident or intentional.
    2) Albums, EPs, Singles, etc. that were under the "More albums" section are still missing; they are on the Deezer catalog, if you search for them you will find them, the artists are correct, but these releases are no longer shown on their artists pages, as if they were hidden.
    3) Songs linked to an artist may appear on another artist's page with the same name too; if I take the album and click the artist name, it opens the right page, so I have no idea how this can happen, how the same album can also appear on the page of a namesake if the URL is different.

    Please check this with the developers as soon as possible, because Deezer catalog is actually broken by those very recent issues.

    It’s getting better. There is Album, Live, Ep and Compilation category but still no Featured in

    @jarnost the latest update that I have is that  "featured in" section will be restored on the artist page.
    It should be available very soon.
    Thanks

    Seems to be fine now, thanks

    I think they are still working on it, though. The "Featured in" section on the web browser version is finally back but shows fewer albums than the corresponding section on the Android app. 🤔
