- ValentineC 7y ago> For the privacy-minded, Apple Music doesn't notify Facebook each time you open the app. Isn't there a way to disconnect Facebook from one's Spotify account altogether?
- hellcow 7y agoI don't even have a Facebook account. That doesn't stop Facebook's SDK from phoning home every time Spotify is opened.
- cameronbrown 7y agoIs this on the web or on the backend - use an adblocker if not?
- juniper411 7y agoThat's only if you login with Facebook to Spotify... Which isn't required.
- hellcow 7y agoNo, you are mistaken. I have no Facebook account. Spotify phones home to Facebook the moment the app is opened. This can be confirmed with a no-root firewall like Netguard on Android.
- sneak 7y agoThis is why Little Snitch is fantastic.
- bashwizard 7y agoEspecially on the phone where most people use Spotify. Oh wait...
- bovermyer 7y agoI almost never use Spotify on my phone. The one exception is when I needed to handle the music for my wedding (piped it through some massive bluetooth speakers).
- dbbk 7y agoI think you must recognise that you're an outlier.
- sneak 7y agoTell Apple, not me. I’d have written it myself already if such a thing were possible. Special VPNs can do this, or you can just carry a travel router, 4g modem, and usb battery pack velcroed to your ankle, and connect to it via WiFi, so that you can blackhole things via DNS or iptables.
