Spotify keeps playing hidden songs

[Spoty13]

Since there is no option to delete a song from an album, I hide them and actually I missed that feature from apple music. So there is a lot of hidden songs in my album catalogue and now they just suddenly start to play. Updates and new device didn’t work. If even I hidden and unhide them again, next day same story. How can I fix that help?

• This was an issue on my previous iPhone 14 Pro Max, and persists to be an issue on my current iPhone 16 Pro Max
• iOS 18.2
• Spotify version 9.0.2
• Fresh installing, installing Spotify on my brand new iPhone 16 Pro Max, it still plays hidden songs in albums and in playlists
• Also when casting to a speaker or speaker groups it completely ignores the hiding feature and plays hidden songs regardless. This is unacceptable!

Spotify needs to be real and acknowledge this issue, and then fix it please!

Google Pixel 6 Pro / Version 15

Cleared Cache and Data > uninstalled > restarted phone > reinstalled/ problem unsolved 

I’ve done this several times and it doesn’t solve anything

When I click on a playlist and skip songs (before hitting the 30 second mark), they still appear as fully played in my listening history. Even if I skip as soon as the song comes up, it still goes in my history. I have premium and use iOS.

Hello!

It sounds frustrating that your skipped songs are still showing up as fully played in your listening history. Since you're using iOS with a premium account, try updating the Spotify app to the latest version, clearing the app cache, or logging out and back in.

Plan: Premium

Country: Brazil

Device: Samsung Galaxy S24+

Operating System: Android 14 - oneUI 6.1

As of January 9th 2025 hidden songs still plays in the same device they were hidden initially, only listening through Bluetooth speakers. This is specially annoying in playlists made by Spotify in the "for you" section.

Another example:

I’ve hidden this track but despite that it shows in queue and plays when it comes next…

Still an issue 5 years later. Spotify is way too expensive for this feature not to work!

Looks liks this is not a new bug and yet there's no fix for it.

Every time i hide the song in some kind of album, Spotify still adds it into my queue even though it shouldn't be there.
