Question

The "make public" option is not there. What can I do?

Eduardo Lai

Community Answer

Check to see if there is a "make secret" button, as it may already be public and people can already visit it. If not, ask on the Spotify website.

Question

I have made my playlist public, but it's not public and it doesn't show on my profile. Is there something I am missing?

Community Answer

Make sure that it is not a collaborative playlist. For some reason it doesn't let you make a collaborative playlist public.

Question

What do I do if the "Make public" button doesn't show up?

Community Answer

Spotify playlists are initially public. In place of a "Make public" option, it will have a "Make secret" option.

Question

I want to make it so that everyone can add songs, how?

Community Answer

Once you have already made a playlist on Spotify, you would then select the three dot icon underneath the playlist's name and picture; from there, you would then select 'Make Collaborative' or 'Collaborative' playlist. Secondly, you would then only have to send a link to the playlist to the friends that you would want to collaborate with when adding songs to the playlist.

Question

I can't see Make Secret button nor the Make Public button. What can I do?

Community Answer

Open the playlist then under the name and photo click the three dots and scroll down until you see ”make public ” then click it. To make it private do the same thing but this time it should say make private. If that doesn’t work something is wrong with Spotify.
