How to Hide Songs In Curated Spotify Playlists

by

spotify app iconSpotify lets you make your own playlists, but it also allows you to enjoy millions of others created by Spotify, artists and other listeners worldwide.

Not only that, it makes bespoke playlists just for you, such as Discover Weekly and Release Radar, which are based on your listening habits (what you like, share, save, skip) and the listening habits of others with similar taste.

Of course, there's always a chance that you won't like a song in a playlist which you otherwise enjoy. Happily, Spotify has acknowledged this possibility and added a Premium feature that allows paying subscribers to hide individual songs in curated playlists.

When listening through a playlist again, any hidden songs are automatically skipped. The following steps explain how it works.

How to Hide Songs Within Spotify Playlists

  1. Launch Spotify and select a curated playlist.
  2. Find a song you want to hide and tap the three dots next to it.
