Can You See Who Liked Your Playlist on Spotify?
No. Spotify shows how many times your playlist has been saved, but it doesn’t give you a list of the people who saved it, on the phone, on a computer or on the web. The Your Updates feed in the mobile app may show some new saves as they happen, but it isn’t a full list and its notices are deleted after 90 days.
What used to be called a “like” is now a save. Spotify replaced the heart with a Plus button in February 2023 (Spotify), and playlist pages now show the number of saves.
Where to see how many saves your playlist has
- Phone: tap Your Library in the menu bar and open the playlist (Spotify Support). The number of saves appears under the title, next to your name.
- Computer or web player: open the playlist from Your Library in the side menu. The header shows the count, for example “4 saves”, next to the number of songs and the total length.
What the Your Updates feed shows
- In the mobile app, tap your profile picture at the top.
- Tap Your Updates (Spotify Support).
A Spotify Community moderator says the feed shows things like new followers and newly saved playlists (Spotify Community), and users report notices such as “saved your playlist” (Spotify Community). Spotify’s help page doesn’t promise a notice for every save, and older notices disappear after 90 days, so you can’t use it to build a list.
What you can see instead
- Your profile followers. On the phone, tap your profile picture, View profile, then followers. On a computer, click your profile picture, Profile, then Followers (Spotify Support). These people follow you, which isn’t the same as saving a particular playlist.
- Collaborators. In a collaborative playlist, the collaborators’ profile pictures show under the playlist name (Spotify Support).
- Blend. In a Blend with up to 10 friends, the people in it see each other’s profile picture and username (Spotify Support).
- People you invite to a private playlist. When you share a private playlist with a link, those people get view access and their profile pictures appear on the playlist. The links expire after 7 days (Spotify Support).
Public and private playlists
New playlists are public by default. When you make one private, nobody else can open it, even with a link or by searching for its name, apart from people you give access through a shared link. To switch, open the playlist, tap the menu icon at the top and choose Make private or Make public (Spotify Support). People you block can’t follow you or your playlists (Spotify Support).
A public playlist can be found and saved by anyone. If you want yours to show more saves, our Spotify followers service covers playlists as well as profiles.
If you’re an artist: Spotify for Artists
Spotify for Artists lists up to 100 playlists your music is on, ranked by how many of their listeners played your music in the last 12 months, for playlists with at least 3 such listeners. It shows numbers, not the individual listeners (Spotify for Artists). For what streams earn, see how much Spotify pays for 1 million streams.
Skip sites that promise a list of who saved your playlist
Spotify doesn’t offer a list of the people who saved a playlist, so a site or app that claims to show one can’t get it from Spotify. If it asks for your Spotify login, don’t give it: Spotify’s rules forbid sharing your password with anyone (Spotify User Guidelines). You can remove apps you connected to your account in your Spotify account settings (Spotify Support).
Users have asked for this feature since 2013. Spotify marked the request “Not Right Now” in 2019 and said it had no immediate plans (Spotify Community).
FAQ
Can you see who saved your Spotify playlist?
No. You can see how many people saved it, but not who they are.
Does Spotify tell you when someone saves your playlist?
Sometimes. The Your Updates feed in the mobile app can show new saves, but not every time, and notices are deleted after 90 days.
Can I see who listens to my playlist?
No. Spotify doesn’t show playlist owners who listened. Artists get listener numbers in Spotify for Artists, but no names.
How do I stop someone from following my playlist?
Make the playlist private, or block the person. Blocked users can’t follow you or your playlists.
