Hi @sashdogga, friends like these, right??

 

You can manage your account profile & settings here.

 

Let us know how you get on?

Hello @sashdogga. Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community!

That's not good that you're friend's name and picture have appeared on your profile. I'm guessing this happened because your friend may have accidentally linked her Facebook Profile to your account. If this is the case, it's an easy fix to undo.

 

I linked to the wrong Facebook account. What do I do?

You’ve linked your Spotify account to Facebook so you can display your Facebook name/profile picture and easily share music. Nice one.

 

So you log in, but wait… that’s not you in the picture!

 

It’s possible to accidentally connect your Spotify to the wrong Facebook account, for example if somebody else is logged in to Facebook on your device.

 

Good news: It’s fixable. Just get to a computer and follow these steps:

  1. Open the Spotify desktop app.
  2. Click on the arrow () in the top-right corner, and select Settings.
  3. Under Social, click DISCONNECT FROM FACEBOOK.
  4. Click CONNECT TO FACEBOOK.
  5. Enter your correct Facebook details and click Log In.

Note: It can take up to 24 hours for the changes to be visible.

Alternatively, I've made an animated GIF showing the process:

 

 

Let me know if this resolves your issue, and keep on rockin'!
