As well as hiding your guilty pleasures from your friends, private listening sessions do not count towards your personalized music recommendations or end of year stats. If you regularly use Spotify to send you to sleep, you may want to turn on Private sessions.
On the mobile app, head to the Home page, then tap the cog in the upper right corner. Go to Social and toggle Private session on.
On the desktop app, simply click the arrow to the right of your name in the upper right corner, then click Private Session.
Repeat the above steps to turn off private sessions.
2. Give your children their own musical experience—and preserve your own—with Spotify Kids
Spotify Kids includes handpicked kid-friendly songs and playlists by Spotify’s editors. Kids accounts are separate from your own, with their listening habits and recommendations not messing with yours. Spotify Kids accounts require a Premium Family subscription.
3. Discover more artists, podcasts, and genres with audio for everyone and everything
Explore new genres and expand your musical repertoire. Spotify have endless playlists suited to any activity or mood, or perhaps 2021 will be the first year you get into podcasts. You can browse shows on Spotify by genre, podcast playlists or even podcast charts.
