Public playlists on Spotify are visible to everyone on your profile page. Your followers will be able to see what music you enjoy and what you listen to regularly if you do it this way.
Some people, on the other hand, prefer to keep their listening habits hidden from others. Fortunately, you can hide your Spotify playlists from your profile and search results by making them private.
You can choose to make your personal Spotify playlists private if you don’t want other users to see them. They won’t appear on your profile page this way, and they’ll be hidden from public view.
Whether you’re using the Spotify site, desktop, or mobile app, you can easily make a playlist private. Here’s how to do it.
