Spotify Lets Users Edit Its Taste Model With New Taste Profile Beta

Editing Spotify’s taste model lets users steer Home recommendations to change what content appears.

Overview

  • Spotify rolled out Taste Profile (Beta) to U.S. Premium subscribers ages 18 and older on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
  • The feature appears in the mobile app under a user’s profile and shows Spotify’s brief summary of a listener’s tastes across music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
  • Listeners can type plain-language prompts to ask for more or less of specific genres, artists, topics, or moods and changes typically surface on the Home feed within a few hours.
  • Taste Profile is limited to Premium users in beta and builds on existing controls like Exclude from Taste Profile and parental settings that stop certain listening from shaping recommendations.
  • Spotify tested the tool in New Zealand earlier this year, and the company says the rollout will be refined with user feedback because the feature could shift how listeners find new artists and niche podcasts.
