How To Hide The Spotify Notifications on Facebook

Spotify and Facebook recently became great buddies, and with that came what many would consider Spotify spam on Facebook - news feeds all over Facebook get filled with Spotify notifications.

However, you can do something about it:

  • You can stop sending your music to Facebook.
  • You can hide all Spotify notifications in your news feed.

Stop sending your music to Facebook

  1. In Spotify, choose Edit->Preferences (or just tap Ctrl+P)
  2. Find the Facebook box and untick the Get personal recommendations by sending music [..] alternative:
    Stop sending Spotify links to Facebook.

Alternatively, you can remove the Spotify app from your Facebook:

  1. Hover a Spotify notification in your news feed, click the top right arrow icon.
  2. Choose Remove Spotify and confirm.
    Remove Spotify from Facebook

Remove all Spotify notifications from your Facebook news feed

To hide all Spotify notifications, as of now, you first have to remove the Spotify app (see above image).

Now you can choose to hide all notifications in your news feed:

  1. Hover a Spotify notification in your news feed, click the top right arrow icon.
  2. Choose Block Spotify and confirm:
    Block Spotify on Facebook.

Facebook seem to change the options here too, so there's another alternative available to some users: Hide all by Spotify:

  1. Hover a Spotify notification in your news feed, click the top right arrow icon.
  2. Choose Hide all by Spotify and confirm:
    Hide all Spotify updates on Facebook.

if you have previously chosen to hide all posts by spotify in your news feed, but would like to be able to see them again, is there any way to reverse this act?

If you want to see Spotify posts in your news feed again:

1. Scroll to the absolute bottom of the feed, click "Edit Options"
2. Find Spotify in the list and click the x button!
