Jul. 3, 2024While most of us look forward to the detailed year-endSpotify Wrappedfor those precious stats, you don’t have to wait as long to see your Spotify listening history. You can do so at any point in time and can access it via your PC or mobile phone. It collects and stores all the albums, single tracks, and podcasts that you’ve been listening to for a quick revisit. So, if you’re looking to do so, here’s a detailed guide on the same! Read on.
Check Spotify Listening History on Android and iOS
The Spotify mobile app for both Android and iOS is identical at this point, and hence, the process of checking your listening history is also the same. With that out of the way, here are the steps to do so:
Spotify also lets you see your listening history on a PC via the web player or dedicated desktop app. So, if you’re on either of those, here’s how to go about it:
Sadly,you can’t delete your Spotify listening historyand give yourself a fresh start. Years ago, Spotify’s desktop app did offer that functionality, but not anymore. Another thing that we noticed was that Spotify’s listening history is not well synchronized across the platforms. So, not all tracks and albums load up.
It needs work, but yes, that brings us to the end of this guide. If you have any further related queries, do take to the comments down below and we’ll get right back!
No. Spotify doesn’t let you see the number of times you have listened to a track. You are limited to the overall view count of a track, which is displayed right underneath. If you want more stats out of your Spotify account, take to third-party services likeLast.fm,stats.fm, and the like.
While you can’t hide your Spotify listening history from your own account, you can pause for 6 hours. To do so, when on the mobile app, tap on the profile icon → Settings and privacy → Privacy and social → Private Session. Once activated, a Private Session lasts for 6 hours, after which you’ll have to reactivate it.
During our testing, the feature was inconsistent as the listening history wasn’t synced across platforms. Sometimes, the feature can also glitch out and may not display all that you have listened to on the platform.
