Unfortunately, "private session" resets every X hours.
- corobo 6y agoAfter 6 hours of inactivity or app restart specifically if you plan on utilising this
- anoncake 6y agoThat's an awful idea for a privacy feature.
- rodiger 6y agoYou can disable sharing altogether if you want. This is specifically for a single "session." Like if you want to listen to a guilty pleasure and don't want your friends bugging you about it
- Tostino 6y agoWait wait wait, Spotify notifies my friends of what I am listening to (not a user, so honest question)?
- rodiger 6y agoNo no, but in the UI you can see what your friends are listening to (if you're added as friends). Example I found online (the right bar is the friends feed): https://miro.medium.com/max/3836/1*C_ImLXQdMOGljMRhLcV-Yw.jpeg https://miro.medium.com/max/3836/1*C_ImLXQdMOGljMRhLcV-Yw.jp...
- kingosticks 6y agoAnd to be clear, this is an optional feature.
- Tostino 6y agoAppreciate that clarification. Good to know.
- wlonkly 6y agoIt's also useful if you have a second musical "life" that you don't want to involve in your recommendations. Parents with kids' music, for instance. In my case, I turn on private listening when I go to bed, because my sleeping music is repetitive and nothing like the music I want to discover.
- anoncake 6y agoOf course. But even then I wouldn't want the session to end without confirmation. A prompt/reminder after six hours would make sense.
