What are Spotify private listening sessions for?
Spotify, the undisputed leader in online music, continues to grow. We already knew the function to hide certain songs from your playlists. Now the Swedish audio streaming giant is launching private sessions.
If you are a fan of musicals, TV series credits or French variety from the 70s / 80s then stay well in front of your screen? The private listening session tool was designed especially for you..
There are no rules when it comes to musical tastes. To be convinced of it, it is enough simply to put the nose in its playlists. The worst often goes hand in hand with the best. No need to say the opposite. I'm sure that if you search well, you will come across some shameful songs.

Start a private listening session on Spotify
One of the main strengths of Spotify is its music sharing and recommendation system. For people wishing to listen to music in anonymous mode, the Swedish music platform offers private session mode.
Its operation is not unlike that of the incognito tab of Google Chrome. When you use the private session feature, Spotify does not save your listening history and searched songs. Here is the procedure for activating a private session on the Spotify app.
- Launch the Spotify app on your smartphone or tablet
- Click on the option icon in the form of a toothed wheel placed in the upper right corner of the screen
- Bring down the window on the bottom
- Press the Private listening session switch to activate the function.
Now you can listen to all your songs away from prying eyes. Your subscribers will not be able to see your listening activity. Note that songs listened to during a private session will not be taken into account by Spotify's recommendation algorithms.
