How To Hide And Unhide Songs On Spotify

The option to hide and unhide songs on Spotify can only be used on your mobile app, iPad, or tablet. This option is not available on your desktop app or web player. Despite all this, the process is very easy and will only take a few seconds.

Spotify has a cool little feature that allows users to hide/unhide certain songs but is only applicable to mobile devices and not the desktop app or web player.

Below are the necessary steps on how to hide and unhide songs on Spotify.

How to Hide songs on Spotify

First, let’s take a look at how to hide songs on Spotify.

Step 1: Open your mobile app

Open the Spotify mobile app and log in, if you haven’t already done so.

Navigate through your playlists and find the song/s you want to hide. Next to the song, you will see ‘three dots’. Press the ‘three dots’ to open the menu.
