Turn off Spotify notifications on Facebook
You know how you find that your Facebook ticker has a whole lot of notifications from Spotify and each time one of your friends listen to a track it shows up in your sidebar ticker. If you're wondering how to turn off Spotify notifications on Facebook, please follow the instructions below.
How to Turn off, Stop or Disable Spotify notifications on Facebook.
1. Login to Facebook
2. Click on the Spotify notifications
3. Once the window pops out hover over the right-hand side of the window
4. When the down arrow appears click on it
5. From the options choose 'Hide all from Spotify'
6. You're done
If you do not want your Spotify notifications from showing up all over your friends Facebook ticker and you want to stop Spotify from posting to your Facebook ticker. This is what you would need to do.
1. When you login to Spotify, in the People Pane on the right-hand side of the screen.
2. Click the Cog icon.
3. Select Disable Posting to Facebook.
If you want to completely remove yourself from this whole circus you can click on File and then 'Disconnect from Facebook'. Following the above mentioned methods will help you stop Spotify from either broadcasting the songs you're listening to. It will also stop you from receiving Spotify updates in your sidebar.
Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I get only the option to hide that one particular Spotify notification.
ReplyDeleteI don't get any options at all as Spotify doesn't work in my country. So I get all the notifications and can't join in and can't switch it off!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, you are right when I wrote this post I took it for granted that you can turn off all third-party apps notifications from the Facebook sidebar. A good example would be games like Farmville and CityVille. Click on the game and turnoff all sidebar notifications. Apparently you cannot do it for Spotify. FB wants to get into the music scene and forcing us to get all the updates in the sidebar from Spotify.
ReplyDeleteGreat post... took me a minute to figure out what you meant.
ReplyDelete2. Click on *any* Spotify notification...
Worked perfectly. Thank you... so annoying.
WHAT is SPOTIFY????? All I see is the ticker on the right, and I want to make sure others can't see what I post on there, so how do I remove myself on there? I don't see a "cog" icon either!
