How to enable private listening on Spotify for Android
Do you listen to Spotify on your Android device but don't want to advertise your playlists on Facebook? We'll show you how to enable private listening.
Spotify desktop users have had the ability to enable private listening for about a month now. Spotify just recently updated its Android app to include the feature for Android users as well. Here's how to enable it:
Step 1: Go to the Android Market and update your Spotify app.
Step 2: Launch the Spotify for Android app, then in the lower right-hand corner, tap on "More," then "Settings."
