How To Adjust Privacy Settings On Spotify

A lot of singers often see Spotify as a platform for fans to listen to their music, but it does far more than that these days. For instance, creating playlists as a singer will make your fans know what tracks and artists you love listening to.

Listening to your Discover Weekly playlists will also allow you to find new songs to share with your fans and followers. The platform can also be used to update your concert calendar from time to time so you can get secure new shows for your brand.

One major thing to not forget though, safeguarding your data on Spotify is key. Being able to block people from viewing your activity is very important nowadays because you can encounter things you do not like about a particular user and want to act on it. Sadly, on Spotify, you cannot block individual users or make your profile totally private.

However, having said that, there are things that can be done to make your Spotify account as private as you want. The instructions are not complicated in any way and you will thank us for it. See How To Adjust Privacy Settings On Spotify?:
