The ability to disable the Jam function.

[Lejos]

Ok so Jam function seems incredibly odd to begin with, but I suppose in a rare instance where you want to listen to love songs with someone who's far away at the exact same time, or you're running a silent Disco, there might be a use for it for a very small number of people. 

But there should be an option to disable it in your settings. Let's start with the hypothetical scenario that I don't want to run into: A crazy ex or a stalker trying to send me their sad playlist everyday. Also, and possibly more frustrating, is the automatic prompt that comes of when you and another person listening to Spotify are on the same Wi-Fi. Why am I being sent an unprompted question without an invitation from another user in my home or business if I would like to join and listen to exactly what they're listening to at the same time. If I happen to want that, would I not just play the music aloud? We obviously already started listening to what we want to listen to on our own devices by ourselves, so why would I suddenly want to listen to exactly what they want to listen to?  Automatically searching for users on the same Wi-Fi seems crazy intrusive to me what if we're on a public Wi-Fi at a mall? How many prompts would you'd be receiving to join? Anyway I don't mind if this crazy feature (that I'm willing to bet a Year's membership that under 5% of users use monthly) stays on the app,  I just want the ability to turn it off so it doesn't bother me while I'm listening to music by myself.

The JAM feature shows up now when I connect my phone to andriod auto. It's annoying enough that I don't want to use spottily. the Jam button made the queue/list button smaller, and my dad can not hit that list button. His stroke made his hands shake, and making that list button smaller makes it frustrating for anyone with a motion handicap like dad. I'm not going to force him to be frustrated, we'll just go back to using a USB stick with mp3s. Spotify **bleep** up with this implementation. ( I finally set up my account just to comment on this topic, it's that bad)

How this company is *so* bad at their *only product* is mystifying.

My neighbor's just pranked me blasting the crazy frog song out of my speaker bc jams were enabled.  Please make it stop.

100% agree with the initial post and subsequent other posts. What is taking so long? There should be a simple "fix" to correct a bug in your roll-out of this capability. It should be a priority of yours to fix major bugs, right?
 

There should be an option to remove the JAM function totally from an account. To me, it's pretty goofy functionality to begin with but if others want it, fine. For them, provide a capability to enable it. For the rest of us, allow us to permanently remove that capability from our account including any devices we are listening on.

Please. It can be very annoying to have that message pop up and random people be asked to "Jam" with me. (yea, as if I really want that)

Today on the bus ride home, someone joined my jam that I did not start. I do not know them (IRL or Spotify friends), and I was only connected via cellular and my airpods via Bluetooth. But that is enough for Spotify to say "Hey, join this jam". Insane invasion of privacy.

Hi,

On my device I can disable "Auto-invite people nearby to a Jam", if you push the icon of your bluetooth speaker (green icon in the bottom of the screen) you will see the bluetooth device list but also the button to disable.
On Android Samsung S25...
Hope it helps..

People have been messing with my music while I'm driving from a different car. I never use this function and going from music I love to suddenly switching to something I don't listen to because I absolutely hate while operating a car literally became a safety issue since I couldn't immediately figure out why the music changed to something I have historically made sure the algorithm knew not to play stuff like it. Not being able to turn off the jam function is already a huge problem but why is broadcasting your listening even a default in the first place?
