My Question or Issue

I don't know whether this issue arised with the new update or before this, but the option to make the playlists that I follow secret or appear publicly on my profile is no longer there on the desktop application. I still have the option on my phone though.

Hi @Luan, thank you for your response.

It seems to me this change might be a bug and not intentional. It is very odd that I have playlists appearing publicly on my profile that I liked, but which I cannot choose to make secret anymore. I can only choose to remove them entirely. Similarly, I have playlists I liked that are secret which I cannot choose to make public.

It doesn't make sense for this option to only be available through the phone app.

Hey, @Bobobonobo

Thank you for keeping us posted! In order to provide you a better answer, could you confirm what is the current version of the app you're running on your computer now?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

The desktop app version is 1.1.56.595.g2d2da0de-a

The mobile app version is 8.6.18.833

To be clear, I can still make my own playlists public and secret. It is only the lists that I follow/like that I cannot change on the desktop.
