BUG when creating a private playlist via web api

[LewisRengifo]

Hi guys im using the web api to create private playlist for my user, im trying this:
curl --location 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{user}/playlists' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {token} \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"name": "New Playlist test private",
"description": "New playlist description",
"public": false
}'
and the api response as:
{"collaborative":false,"description":"New playlist description","external_urls":{"spotify":"}"},"followers":{"href":null,"total":0},"href":"https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/{id}","id":"{id}","images":[],"primary_color":null,"name":"New Playlist test private","type":"playlist","uri":"spotify:playlist:{id}","owner":{"href":"https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{userid}","id":"{id}","type":"user","uri":"spotify:user:{user}","display_name":null,"external_urls":{"spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/user/{useroid}"}},"public":false,"snapshot_id":"{snapshot}","tracks":{"limit":100,"next":null,"offset":0,"previous":null,"href":"https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/{user-id}/tracks","total":0,"items":[]}}
so as we can see the response says public= false so in theory the playlist should be private but when i see in the ui, the playlist is public, please I need help

Hi @LewisRengifo 

The Playlists reference pages reads: "Note that the public attribute does not refer to access control, modifying access is currently not possible through the WebAPI, so anyone with the link to the playlist can access it unless it’s made private through for instance the desktop client."
