Quick Access "Private Session" Button

I suggest adding a quick toggle button for Private Session, either in the menu, below "Settings and privacy" or between the "Home" and "Search" or the "Search" and "Your Library" buttons.

 

Sometimes, I'm chatting with a Spotify Community member, about music. We share music, back and forth. What this person shares is not one of the genres that I listen to, normally, but I want to hear it. I also don't want it to influence anything in my Spotify account; I just save the songs that I like. When we're chatting, it can go pretty fast, to where I don't want to be messing around, going through the settings, just to turn the private session mode on. I did see, the last time that I used it, that it now shows at the bottom that you're in a private session. That's pretty nice.

Hi Spotify team,

 

I’d like to suggest a small but impactful improvement to the Private Session feature.

 

Currently, enabling or disabling it requires navigating through the profile menu, which adds unnecessary steps for a feature that users might want to toggle frequently and quickly.

 

To enhance the user experience, consider turning Private Session into a one-click action, perhaps by pinning the padlock icon right where it goes when the feature is enabled. This way, it would turn into a one-click action.

 

I guess it would be quite convenient, since users often enable Private Session spontaneously—when playing guilty pleasures, discovering new music, or using a shared account. A one-click toggle makes this seamless.

 

Thanks for considering it!

I'd appreciate it, if you'd vote for it, as well as share it. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's thought of this.

Hey, Bittencourt

 

It would be nice, if a lot more people would see it. I don't really mess with social media, but do you have any that you share this kind of stuff on or would? I appreciate your vote. Thanks

I've merged these ideas together.

 

I've also made a few tweaks to the text so that it's easier to read what the main idea is in the first few lines.
