How to Block Someone on Spotify
Spotify is definitely so much more than just a music streaming app as it offers multiple social features such as Spotify real-time lyrics, creating a Spotify playlist, and more users joining as we speak. However, sometimes it happens that you just don’t get along well with someone, and for that, Spotify introduced the block feature for users to directly block unwanted people from seeing their Spotify account and accessing their playlist.
Interestingly, the launch of the blocking function that Spotify offers has become very convenient and provides users with the best possible experience, ensuring that they have a safe environment to stream music and podcasts. Previously, if you wanted to block someone, Spotify required that you contact their customer support but not anymore.
This recent option is now integrated natively into the Spotify app, and you can access it either from your mobile device or on your desktop computer.
