[Privacy] Sharing single song shares whole playlist "On Repeat" - can't make private

[fling]

Plan: Premium, Germany

Tested Devices: iPhone XS, Pixel 5, MacOS 

When copying a share link from a single song from within the "On Repeat" playlist, the whole "On Repeat" playlist is shared and not only the song selected. This happens on both iOS and Android. (Seems not to happen on Desktop MacOS.) Sharing songs from normal playlists works as expected and only shares the single song. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. On Android or iOS, go to "On Repeat" playlist

2. Select share option from menu next to single track

3. Select "Copy Link" 

Result:

The person I sent the link to has access to my "On Repeat" playlist.

More pressingly, I have not found a possibility to revoke access to my "On Repeat" playlist again. As this playlist constantly reflects my listening habit, this is quite a privacy issue for me! Apart from fixing the initial share BUG, this type of playlist also need the "Make Private" option!

That is true! There needs to be an option to make playlists like "On Repeat" private (again).

Once when I listened to my "On repeat" it was shown in my friends feed. Some friends liked and saved my "On repeat" and now there is no way to make it private again. They can watch my personal "On repeat" whenever they want to.

I totally agree that this is quite a issue!

Hey folks,

Thanks for reaching out.

We've forwarded this to the relevant team here at Spotify and we'll keep you posted in this thread on any relevant updates.

Cheers,

Same problem here. Shared one song with someone earlier and now they have access to my On Repeat and there is nothing I can do about it. This is a serious privacy issue that Spotify needs to resolve urgently. Even worse is that there is no indication that sharing a song will share an entire list.

Safe to say they don’t care because I’m in the seat. 9-27-24

If you block the person does that help? Also why is this still an open issue????? it's such a privacy issue....

[SLAY_ham]

No, blocking does not help I’ve tried.
