How to hide a song from a playlist you don’t own on Spotify (Android & iOS)

Being able to hide or unhide songs is an incredibly useful function for people wanting to block out music they don’t want to hear. However, the Hide this song function in Spotify is only available on mobile.

Hide this song is only accessible from the song options on the Spotify mobile app for Android and iOS. Song options are accessible by pressing or ᐧᐧᐧ next to that song’s name.

Additionally, you currently cannot see Hide this song when accessing songs from your Liked Songs list, Spotify search bar results, or an artist’s profile.
