- Spotify is working on a new “Notes” feature that could let you directly influence your Home recommendations.
- Instead of only excluding playlists or tracks, you may be able to add written feedback to shape your Spotify Taste Profile.
- The same build also hints at customizable emoji reactions for Spotify Messages chats.
Spotify’s recommendations can feel eerily accurate at times, but certainly not all the time. Right now, if your Home feed or Discover Weekly starts skewing in a direction you don’t like, your only real option is to tweak what you play or manually exclude certain tracks and playlists from your Taste Profile. But it looks like Spotify may soon give you a more direct way to steer the algorithm.
At the moment, your Spotify Taste Profile is built from what you listen to and how you listen. It powers recommendations like Discover Weekly and shapes summaries such as Wrapped and Blend. If something is distorting your recommendations — say, a sleep playlist you run every night — you can exclude that playlist or specific tracks from your Taste Profile. Spotify says those exclusions take effect within 48 hours and reduce the extent to which those streams influence future recommendations and taste summaries.
