Can You See Who Follows Your Playlist on Spotify on Android? (2021)

A guide detailing workarounds for how you can see who follows your Spotify playlist

As you may have noticed, it's not possible to see which users follow a Spotify playlist. Although such a feature is often requested by Spotify users, a 2019 status update from Spotify's development team confirms there are no plans for implementation.[1] While this may be frustrating, there are still some things you can do to gauge your playlist and profile's popularity on Spotify when you're using an Android.

Question 1 of 3:

What can you see about your followers?

    You can still see who follows your Spotify profile. Although this won't tell you whether someone follows a particular playlist of yours, it can still be helpful to gauge who's following you. Plus, if someone follows your profile, there's a chance they are also following one or more of your playlists. To open your profile in the Spotify app, tap the Home tab, tap the gear at the top, and then tap your name. Then, tap the number of followers at the top to view your entire follower list.
    • You can tap a follower's name to check out their profile, which can give you an idea of what type of music they enjoy. You can also see that user's own public playlists, as well as any playlists by others they follow that they've marked as public. Which brings us to…

Question 2 of 3:

Are there any other tricks you can try to see who follows a playlist?

    You might be able to see which playlists a certain person follows. Might is the key word here. Once upon a time, Spotify publicly displayed every new playlist its users followed on their profiles. But now, when someone follows a playlist, that information stays private unless the user manually marks the playlist as public. If you're trying to figure out if a certain Spotify user is following your playlist, open that person's profile and tap Playlists at the top. Browse the list to see if your playlist is among those that user follows publicly.
    • Keep in mind that even if you don't see your playlist on this user's profile, they may still be following it and just haven't marked it as public.
Question 3 of 3:

What else can you try?

    You can vote to bring the feature to Spotify. One cool thing about Spotify's online community is that members can suggest new Spotify features on the forum. Other users can vote on whether they'd like to see these features implemented, and Spotify's development team takes notice. The follower list feature was first suggested as an idea back in 2013, but people are still casting their votes for its comeback in 2021.[2] Spotify developers have marked the idea as something they don't want to implement right now, but that doesn't mean they won't bring it back in the future.
