Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?

Today I was minding my business, scrolling through Twitter when I happened upon this mildly shocking revelation.

How to Check Your Playlist Stats in Spotify on an iPhone

When you make a playlist on Spotify, anyone can like it. Keep in mind that liking a Spotify playlist automatically adds it to your library. So technically, when you like a playlist on Spotify, you also follow it. In fact, the “Like” button is replaced by “Follow” on the Spotify desktop app. Additionally, you can only like public playlists, since private playlists can’t be accessed by random Spotify users.

If you’ve made some top-notch playlists, and you find you’ve gathered a large number of likes, you might be wondering who liked them. The good news is that you can see the like count of every public Spotify playlist, whether it’s yours or someone else’s.

However, you don’t have the option to see which individual profiles like a Spotify playlist, even if it’s yours. This option was available until 2013 when Spotify removed this feature. Now, you can only see how many likes your Spotify playlist has. Although many users complained about not being able to see who liked their playlists, there’s no indication Spotify will be bringing this feature back, at least not in the near future.

For the time being, you can only see how many likes your Spotify playlist has. So, in case you’re wondering how you can view your like count on Spotify on an iPhone, here’s what you need to do:

  1. Open Spotify on your iPhone.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?
  2. Tap on “Your Library” in the bottom-right corner of the menu.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?
  3. Select the “Playlist” tab at the top of the screen.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?
  4. Go to the playlist in question.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?

You’ll see the like count of the playlist under the title, which is on the left side of the screen. Unfortunately, you can’t use that count to find out individual users who liked the playlist. For instance, if you were to try and tap on the like count, nothing would happen.

While there is no workaround to see who liked your Spotify playlist, some users check their followers to see if there’s someone new in the list. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Even if you do have a new follower, your playlist could have been liked by someone who had already been following you, or someone who doesn’t follow you at all. This method can be especially unhelpful if your Spotify account has a lot of followers. There simply isn’t an accurate way of telling who liked your Spotify playlists.

But if you still want to try this method, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the app on your iPhone.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?
  2. Tap on the “Settings” icon in the upper-right corner of your screen.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?
  3. Proceed to the “View Profile” tab under your username.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?
  4. Tap on the “Followers” button under your profile picture.
    Can you see if someone adds a song from your playlist?

Here you’ll be able to see if someone new followed you, and perhaps it was them who liked your playlist. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing for sure.
