Spotify is set to let you block people in the near future. The streaming music service has announced that it will add a “block people” feature to its app, which will allow you to prevent certain users from listening to your music. The feature is set to launch in the United States on July 1st and will be available on both desktop and mobile devices. You’ll be able to toggle the “block people” option on or off at any time, and you can also choose who you want to block by name or email address. If you’re not happy with the way someone is listening to your music, it’s easy enough to remove them from your playlist by clicking on the “remove from playlist” button at the bottom of each song’s page. You can also follow someone if you want to keep track of their playlists and listen preferences. Spotify has always been a great choice for music lovers who want an easy way to keep track of their favorite songs without having to worry about finding them again later. The “block people” feature is sure to make life easier for those who use it, and we’re sure that everyone will be happy with how it turns out.
Currently, if you want to block someone on Spotify, you’ll need to reach out to customer service and request that the company blocks them from looking at your profile and playlists. Once this new change rolls out, you’ll be able to simply visit a person’s profile and block them. It’s a lot easier than contacting customer service, that’s for sure.
There are plenty of reasons you might not want someone to see what you’re listening to. Perhaps you have an ex who wants to creep on your musical tastes, or you have someone who’s making fun of your song choices. Whatever the reason, it’s definitely a welcomed change and one that’ll create a safer, more pleasant place to enjoy your music and podcasts.
According to Engadget, Spotify didn’t say exactly when the new feature would launch, only saying it’ll roll out this week. Once it’s out, you’ll be able to block people quickly and easily.
