Oh, Spotify. I love you so much. I'm a premium user listening on iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro devices. I was looking for a way to hide songs I dislike, and I was told by one of your own staff that the only way to do so was to go onto a mobile device and hide it from there. This was a bit of an inconvenience, as I'm often listening while working on my laptop, but hey, at least it worked. Well, now 1) that feature is no longer available on mobile devices and 2) the songs I'd previously hidden are no longer hidden. What's the deal, Spotify? You're killin' me. Please bring this feature back, and please make it accessible on all devices. Pretty please.
Hey there @ekaylene,
Thanks for the post.
Sorry to hear you're having such an experience with the app.
Can you send us some screenshots of the following:
It would be great if you can also include your phone's model, OS version and Spotify version.
We'll look into this.
Cheers.
Hi there @ekaylene,
Thanks for the reply and the info you've provided.
I can confirm that Hidden songs are not synchronized between devices, so if you've hidden a song on your phone it will still be playable and appear in your playlist on PC. Currently this is how the app is built.
If you really dislike some songs you can block their artist from your mobile device. Blocked artist are synched across devices and if you encounter a song by them on another device it will be automatically skipped.
You can block artists by opening their profile pages on Mobile > click the 3-dot menu > Select Don't Play this.
Hope this info clears things up.
Hi @ekaylene!
Here are a couple of ideas about the Hide song feature that you may find interesting, so feel free to check them out and show your support by giving them a thumbs up (if you haven't already) as they're still open for voting:

My Question or Issue
Hide / delete song button isn't present on WEB app anymore. Previously we were able to delete/hide songs from `Discover Weekly` playlist.
This functionality is still present on Mobile (iOS) app
I hope this is the correct topic, so I don't open a duplicate topic.
In fact the button to hide music does not appear in the web browser version.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that I don't know if "hide song" is the same as "block song". But I think "block" would be a more appropriate term.
From what I've been reading in this and other posts, it seems that the hide button ("minus" button) once existed in the web browser version.
I ask, please, Spotify, add this feature! Just like in the mobile version.
Deezer has it, and this feature is extremely useful! I would say, one of the main features!
It would also be great if this "no longer recommend this song" feature (minus button) was present on all songs, regardless of where it was started (except directly in playlists).
Thanks in advance.
How unfortunate the Spotify cares so little about customer feedback and interests while using your service, which we pay for. Why would you remove this feature? And when we ask to resume it, you brush us off. Very disappointed and will spread the word. Very poor customer service. Are artists mandating that you not hide their songs? I can't think of any other reason other than business deals for you to take away a well-needed service, particularly for parents who want to play and share good music with children (future subscribers = more $ for you) by artists but who may have an occasional song that isn't appropriate for young ears to hear. Not family friendly. Not impressed.
I also don't see this feature on my desktop app. I'm trying to exclude certain songs from a Spotify created playlist. (MacOS Sonoma 14.5, Spotify for macOS (Apple Silicon)

Still cannot hide the song on desktop app, It is so annoying. I found out that someone get the same trouble for a long time. Why do you keep it?
especially for a desktop user who do not use the phone all the time
Really wish Spotify would get their act together and listen to their users for once. What was the purpose of removing the feature? Trying to get more people talking about your awfully managed app? I’m starting to think you guys do this for attention.
Hey there you, Yeah, you! 😁 Welcome - we're glad you joined the Spotify Community! While you here, let's have a fun game and get…
