Spotify has introduced a feature called Taste Profile that allows users to type everyday phrases requesting more or less of specific artists, genres or moods. The tool is designed to give listeners direct input into how the platform's recommendation algorithm shapes their feed.
Spotify has launched its 'Taste Profile' feature to Premium subscribers aged 18 and up in the United States, after debuting it in beta in New Zealand earlier this year. The tool lets users see how Spotify's AI interprets their listening habits and adjust it using natural-language requests to change what gets recommended in feeds like Discover Weekly, Made for You, and Wrapped.
Spotify introduced a new settings option letting users exclude kids and family music, such as nursery rhymes or movie soundtracks, from shaping their Discovery Weekly, Daily Mix and Wrapped. The toggle works retroactively, so previously played kids' tracks can be scrubbed from a user's taste profile, and it's available to both free and premium accounts.
Spotify has rolled out a new global mobile setting for Free and Premium users that lets them remove children's and family music from their taste profile. Once toggled off in settings, songs from kids' movies, nursery rhymes and family show themes will no longer factor into personalized features like Wrapped, Discover Weekly, or Daily Mix, even retroactively. Users can still search, play, and playlist that music without it affecting their recommendations.
