By default, Spotify gives your friends and followers the ability to see what you're listening to on your Spotify account. Thankfully, if you're generally not comfortable with the idea of other people seeing what you're listening to on Spotify, you can easily hide what you listen to on the streaming audio platform. To be clear, hiding your listening activity is different from listening to music on Spotify privately. If you ever decide to un-hide your listening activity on the service, people will be able to see what you listened to. Alternatively, if you listen to music in a private session, no one else will ever be able to see that. I'll include a link in the description and pinned comment that will show you how to start a private listening session on Spotify.
First let's walk through the steps to hide what your listening to from friends in the Spotify mobile app.
Step 1. Open the Spotify mobile app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Spotify home screen.
Step 2. Tap the "Settings" icon at the top of the screen. The Spotify Settings screen is shown.
Step 3. Tap "Privacy and Social." The Privacy and Social screen is displayed.
Step 4. Tap to toggle on "Listening Activity." Going forward your friends and other people who follow you will no longer be able to see what you're listening to on Spotify. If you ever want them to be able to see what you're listening to again, you can always come back to this screen and toggle Listening Activity back on.
Next let's walk through the steps to hide what your listening to from friends in the Spotify desktop app.
Step 1. Open the Spotify desktop app. Click your profile icon at the top of the screen to open a menu.
Step 2. Click "Settings" in this menu. The Settings screen is displayed.
Step 3. Scroll down this screen until you get to the Social section. Find "Share My Listening Activity on Spotify" in this section, and then click to toggle it off. Going forward your friends and other people who follow you will no longer be able to see what you're listening to on Spotify. If you ever want them to be able to see what you're listening to again, you can always come back to this screen and toggle Listening Activity back on.
