By enabling Spotify private session, you can hide your listening activity from your followers. We will show you how to activate this feature in Spotify on desktop computers and mobile devices..
What is a private session on Spotify?
By default, Spotify shows your listening activity to your followers. If you prefer to keep your activity private, you can use a private session.
When you are in a private session, Spotify does not record your listening activity. Everything you hear in this session will remain private. At the same time, Spotify does not use any data from private sessions in its algorithms to recommend new music to you.

At the time of writing this post in September 2021, the web version of Spotify does not support private sessions.
Start a private session to Spotify on mobile devices
To enable a private session on your iPhone, iPad or android mobile, first, launch the Spotify app on your phone.
At the bottom of the Spotify app, touches “Beginning”.
On the screen “Beginning”, from the upper right corner, select option “Setting” (a gear icon).
On “Setting”, scroll down to section “Social”. Here, activate the option “Private session”.
And that is. You are now in a private session. Regardless of the music tracks you listen to here, your followers will not see them in the Friends Activity.
To deactivate the private session, access the menu “Setting” and disable the option “Private session”.
Start a private session to Spotify on the desktop
To enter a private Spotify session on your Windows computer, Mac or Linux, first start the Spotify application on your computer.
In the Spotify app, at the top, click on your name.
In the menu that opens after clicking on your name, select “Private session”.
Next to your name at the top of the Spotify app, you will now see a lock icon. This confirms that you have successfully entered a private session.
When you want to exit the private session, just click on your name at the top of the Spotify app and choose “Private session” on the menu.
And this is how you keep the flavor of your music a mystery!!
It is also possible that you want to delete your recently played list on Spotify so as not to leave traces of your musical activity. It is equally easy to do that.
