Do you have some hidden songs on your Spotify playlists that you no longer want to be hidden? Then we have the perfect guide for you! Here we will discuss how one can unhide their songs on Spotify in the simplest steps. We shall also see how this feature works and how you can hide songs you want as well. Let us get started!
What does it mean to hide songs on Spotify?
Hiding songs on Spotify doesn’t mean actually hiding them on the platform for everyone, but you and your account. Let us elaborate! When you “hide” a song on Spotify, it means that the song will be skipped automatically whenever it comes up in the specific playlist or album you’re listening to. When a song is hidden on Spotify, it means that if it comes up in the playlist or album you’re currently listening to, Spotify will automatically skip over it and move on to the next track. You won’t hear the hidden song. It’s important to note that hiding a song typically only applies to the specific playlist or album where you hid it. Therefore, if that same song appears in a different playlist or if you listen to its original album directly, it might still play. If you have hidden it in more than one playlist, then it will stay hidden for those playlists.
How to unhide songs on Spotify?
If you really want to unhide certain songs on the platform, then you can follow these steps –
- Navigate to the specific playlist or album containing the hidden song that you want to unhide.
- Find the song in the playlist. It will appear greyed out or faded, often with a minus sign or a circle-slash icon next to it.
- Tap the three dots next to the hidden song’s title to open its options menu.
- From the menu, select the option labeled “Hidden” or explicitly “Unhide Song.”
Doing this will unhide that song. If you want to unhide multiple songs in that very playlist, then you can do that as well. Just follow the same steps with those songs in that playlist. Or if they are in different playlists, then you can visit those playlists and then do so.
