If you do not wish to listen to certain songs or hide those songs so they do not play when you are using Spotify, we will show you how. You can unhide your songs in the future if you change your mind.
Note: You can not hide songs in your own playlists. If you do not want a specific song in your playlist, simply remove it from the list.
Hide Songs on Spotify
To hide a song so it does not play when you are listening to your music, use the following steps in the Spotify app on your iPhone or Android phone.
First, launch Spotify on your phone and find the music track to hide. Then, next to the song, tap the three dots (the Menu icon). Refer to the below image:
Next, in the menu that opens, select Hide Song. See the below image:
Now, Spotify will immediately hide your song in your list. See the following image:
Unhide Songs on Spotify
If you have changed your mind about a song and want to unhide that song, follow the following steps to see your hidden songs and unhide them.
First, open Spotify on your phone. Then, find the playlist or album where you hid your song.
Next, find your hidden song (which will be grayed out), and next to that song, tap the three dots (the Menu icon). Refer to the below image:
Now, in the open menu, select Hidden. See the below image:
Now, Spotify will unhide your song, allowing you to tap and play it. See the following image:
For Desktop Only
You can not hide songs on Spotify’s desktop and web versions. Only the platform’s mobile app allows you to hide and unhide songs, as of this writing.
If you have an unwanted song in your playlist (not a Spotify sample playlist), remove it from your list and the app will not play it. To do that, access your playlist and find that song. Next to the song, click the three dots (the Menu icon) and choose Remove from this playlist. See the following image:
Spotify will remove the selected song from your playlist, and you are all done.
