Im on mobile app version 8.8.6.472, and i dont have that button in my playlists' context menu. Is this feature not rolled out in all regions or something?

The button isnt in the list of options when i click and hold the list, nor is it in the three dots at the top of my list.

I would be grateful of any help or knowledge on this.

Hey, @avfinchum

This feature is being launched globally, but the new feature is being reflected on the updates gradually. As always, the most recommendable is keeping your app updated to get the latest features sooner.

Great new feature. I had worked out a solution for this "problem" by opening a Spotify account for my dog.
This is far less of a hassle. Can't wait to get the update.

One of the few features that is really useful on Spotify. It comes to my account too. Thank for posting this.

I highly hope that the tiktok style main page will never ever rolled out globally.

This "Exclude from your Taste Profile" feature doesn't work at all. Algorithm keeps recommending me the artists I have excluded from my taste profile (and also artists I've marked as "don't play this artist"). At least to me it's just a button that doesn't do anything.

This does not work.

I have a blend playlist with some friends, and I excluded it from my taste profile three weeks ago. However, songs that I ONLY listened to on this playlist, in the last few days, are now showing up with an indication that they were "added by" me.

This feature has stopped working for me, it's been about five months now since it worked properly. My playlists that are supposed to be excluded from my taste profile are very clearly influencing my blend playlists and discover weekly. This is maddening. Please help! Support has been useless and eventually just stopped responding to me. No amount of signing in and out and reinstalling the app has fixed this.

Hi everyone!
For my thesis I’m researching the effects of the exclude songs from taste profile. In some situations you may want others not to see what you are listening to, and I am curious how you experience this.
let me know if u would like to participate
