Begging for ratings breaks the UX and is distasteful

[StopNaggingMe]

I have the paid plan and use it mostly on my iPhone.  How do I tell it to never, ever popup that damn begggar screen asking me to rate the application ?   Begging for ratings is incredibly distasteful, and it literally *breaks the ux*; users can't use the app until they clear that popup. 

Current iOs on iphone 12 pro max, paid plan.

Hey @StopNaggingMe, thanks for posting here!

That doesn't sound right. Let's get this fixed! Could you head to: 'Settings > App Store' and turn off: 'In-App Ratings & Reviews'? That should help here. Let me know how you get on!

Thanks, have a good one,

Thank you Hubo - I was completely unaware that this was something facilitated and controlled by the OS. 

 I would suggest that Spotify should immediately considering abandoning use of this feature, or implementing it in a way that doesn't require someone to close that beg screen before they can continue using the application - perhaps having it close itself should they click anywhere else in the app, so they can continue using the app as normal.
