What the MOD version does NOT provide:
You cannot download music
You will not be able to play music to the receiver / speaker via wifi
Very high quality not available (just placebo)
What the MOD version gives:
Visual ads blocked;
Audio ads blocked;
Seeking enabled;
Unlimited shuffle;
Choose any song;
Repeats enabled;
Canvas enabled;
Canvas Sharing enabled;
Storyline enabled.
Voice search enabled
Follow feed enabled
Image mood enabled
Lyrics share enabled
Sing-along enabled (works only in supported countries)
Animated heart like feature
The ability to play music using Spotify Connect (Only on tablets, phones, PCs and TVs with Android TV. Other devices still need premium)
When using the MOD version, if you still see shuffle mode and premium features not activated, Force stop the application (atleast twice) from the phone settings and start it again. Turning on the application, clearing the cache and restarting the phone can also help.
If stopping and then starting the program, rebooting, or re-login does not help, delete this version, clear the cache and install a different version.
It is also recommended to check the performance of the service on your phone by installing the official version of the application.
An alternative to the mod version can be the official version of the Indian account, in which all the functionality of the mod is already present (Except ads).
Gives an error - "no internet", or "14 days"
It appears only in the free version or modifications. If you are using an account registered to a different region, if such an error occurs, use the proxy or VPN of the required region when authorizing.
Or change the region of your account to the one you are in.

Regarding Spotify connect
If you use Spotify Connect to stream songs to any device, it's most likely that you will hear audio ads, since when using it the streaming skips the phone (where patched app is) and stream directly from server, so it returns to hear the ads. The solution for this is to use the native bluetooth stream of your device. The same thing happens when casting to devices like Chromecast, Google Home, Alexa, etc.
**After version 8.5.57.1164 you may or may not face ''Artist page not loading' issue (Spotify own bug) so here's what you can try to get rid off it ( Worked for me, but may or may not work for you).
1) Whitelist Spotify from any junk cleaning app (sdmaid, cc cleaner, stock cleaner app etc)
2) Whitelist Spotify from any adblocker if you're using.
3) Force stop the app twice for quick fix
4) If you have sd card in your phone, just change storage settings from Spotify settings for quick fix
Spam Spotify forum if you want this bug to be fixed, do not complain in mods
