My Question or Issue

What happens when you disable your listening activity after it was once enabled? Does your name disappear from your followers' friend activity or do they just see the last song you've listened to until you enable it again? What about when you start a private session?

Hey there @foodie_love

 

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community. 

 

It's possible that other users are able to see the last song you were listening to before disabling your listening activity. 

 

The Private session is similar and doesn't show to any of your friends what you're listening to. Also, the content you play while in a Private session doesn't affect your recommendations. 

 

Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions. 

 

Cheers.

Hi, you say that it's possible that they are seeing the last song. Can you please check and confirm 100%? 

Hey @foodie_love,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

If you are listening to something while on public mode and switch to Private session, your friends will see the last song you've listened to before switching. There is currently no way that this can be cleared from the app settings.

 

Hope this helps 🙂
