Secret playlists are still public..."Make Secret" doesn't work

Plan

Free

Country

USA

Device

MacBook Pro, Early 2015

Operating System

Mac OS X 10.13.6

When I have a playlist open and click on the three dots icon next to the play button, and I select "Make Secret", then I check my profile in a web browser (https://open.spotify.com/user/USERNAME), the playlist still shows up in the list of public playlists. This...is...not...cool!

Hi @redcakemix, thanks for writing!

Can you please send me your profile link and playlist title so I can check if it really is set as Public?

Thanks!

Hey @redcakemix, I've just checked your profile and the playlist link you sent me through inbox (2018.01) isn't public.

So although it shows for you as "make secret", it's already set to secret.

Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

I double checked whether secret playlists are still visible on my profile page. I logged out of my account, went to the URL of my profile page, and all of the playlists I set to "make secret" are still listed under the public playlists on my profile page.

So when you go to my profile page, the playlist I sent you is not displayed under public playlists? Why can I still see it even after logging out?

Hey @redcakemix,

I can't figure out why, but maybe it's something related to your browser's cache.

Try using another browser, or the incognito mode, or even send your profile link to a friend and ask them to see if the secret playlists are visible...

There it goes! Loaded my profile page in Safari in Private Mode and the playlists set to secret aren't listed. It was the browser cache all along. UGH!

Thanks for sorting it out!
