Spotify Will Finally Allow Us To Block Other Users

Spotify is definitely not the first service that comes to mind when you think about blocking other users . However, the features of the streaming app could mean that someone you no longer live with can access your playlists or activity. Today, the company is massively updating the way it blocks another user on the platform, giving us the ability to do it ourselves for the first time. Before, it was mandatory to contact customer service to do this, now we can simply do it with a button.

Users have been looking for a way to directly block others for quite some time. In 2019, Spotify began allowing users to block artists they never wanted to listen to with the "Don't listen to this artist" option. Still, there wasn't an option to prevent your ex or anyone else you didn't want to see your stuff from doing so unless you contacted the company for help.

To block someone on Spotify, simply visit their profile and click the three ellipsis button, then hit "Block" or "Block user" as it's called on mobile, and that person will no longer be able to access your page., public playlists or view your listening activity. Unsurprisingly, there is an "Unlock" option if you ever change your mind.
