Spotify Lets You Exclude Individual Songs From Your Taste Profile

A global update adds a quick menu toggle to keep one-off plays from influencing core personalized features.

Overview

  • The feature is live for Free and Premium users worldwide on web, desktop, iOS, and Android.
  • Listeners can select a track, open the three-dot menu, and choose Exclude from your Taste Profile, with the option to include it again later.
  • Spotify says exclusions reduce the impact of both past and future plays on recommendations that drive Discover Weekly, Home, Wrapped, and Blend.
  • Early guides report that excluded songs stop appearing in algorithmically generated playlists like Discover Weekly and Daily Mix while remaining playable via search or direct selection.
  • Coverage frames this as a helpful but manual control, with calls for profile switching or session-level attribution that Spotify has not announced.
