If you’ve been following us for a while, then you probably already know that in addition to keeping you informed, we’re always trying to add more knowledge to your everyday life, with tips and tutorials so you can get the most out of your devices and apps.

Today, continuing this routine, we present another tip; this time, for Spotify users! Learn below how to hide a playlist on the streaming service.

Despite being a streaming focused on playing music and podcasts, Spotify also carries with it some aspects of a social network, maintaining a profile for each user of the platform where it is possible to check the artists played recently, people followed and followers and the playlists followed.

Within this aspect, there are basically two types of playlists: public ones, which appear on your profile, and private ones, which are hidden. Therefore, hiding a playlist – as we will teach next – will allow you to “hide” a playlist from your profile.

It is worth mentioning that when you share a secret playlist with someone, this list becomes visible to that person. Thus, in addition to being able to follow and reproduce, she gains the power to share this playlist with her contacts – and the playlist will appear on the profile of any new followers.

Check out in the following categories how to hide a playlist and, if desired, how to change Spotify’s default setting regarding this feature.

• Hide a playlist on Spotify on computer
• Hide a playlist on Spotify on smartphone (Android & iOS)
