Turn Off Spotify Recommendations in the Future, Leaker Hints via Source Code

Do you ever get ticks when you get unsolicited advice? Well, you may have one less app to worry about giving you personalized recommendations on its platform, with Spotify to turn off its suggestions for you. The new feature is allegedly coming soon as it was found in the source code by a leaker, claiming that it will soon offer users a choice to remove it from their streaming experience.

While personalized recommendations feel like an invasion of your privacy, Spotify's current algorithm helps in offering other music to explore based on one's data and listening history.

Turn Off Spotify Recommendations, Leaker Claims in Source Code Find

A new report from TechRadar centers on the upcoming feature for Spotify that will allow users to remove the personalized recommendations feature in the feed. This feature will allow users to focus more on what they want to hear instead of what the algorithm dictates based on their previous data on the platform.

In a recent spot by a leaker who found it via the latest source code of Spotify's beta version, the feature would allow its user to base their feed entirely on recommended songs via popularity or playlist relevance, as well as those picked out by the Spotify team.

However, it is unknown what kind of recommendations it will bring, as well as when Spotify will release it.

Spotify's Current Algorithm: Using Data and Listening History

The current algorithm that people enjoy on Spotify uses their data, listening history, search, favorites, and more to give them a personalized recommendation similar to their taste. This aims to help improve more of the Spotify experience, but it is not everyone's cup of tea.

Soon, users may be able to control more of what they see in their feeds and what data is used from their experience.

Spotify's App, Its Development, and Latest Changes

One of the most notable feats of the Swedish music streaming platform, Spotify, is its many updates and developments in store and delivers to the world in frequent drops. In their recent update, the platform offers enhanced accessibility features that offer auto-generated podcast transcripts that could help people who need more than listening to enjoy the content.
