Can people view private playlists?

• You can make a Spotify playlist private or public by using the three-dot menu available on the playlist's page.
• To make the change, select either "Make Secret" or "Make Public" from the three-dot menu.
• Once you make a Spotify playlist private, its followers won't be able to view it anymore, and it won't appear in searches.

While Spotify is often used for sharing playlists with friends, there may be some playlists you want to keep private. This is easy to do with Spotify's "Make Secret" option.

Once you hide a Spotify playlist, your followers will no longer be able to view the playlist, and it won't appear in any searches. And if in the future you want to make the playlist public again, you can do so with just a click.

Remember, though, that you can only make playlists you've created private if the playlist is owned by someone else, you can't edit it.

You can make a Spotify playlist private in both the desktop app for Mac and PC, and the mobile app for iPhone and Android.
