Can You See Who Liked Your Spotify Playlist?
Picture this: your Spotify playlist is rocking it!
Your friends like it, and other users that you don’t know are also fond of listening to your music.
If any other user or friend likes your playlists on Spotify, then your music taste is on point - good for you!
But is there a reliable workaround for the playlist creator to see who liked their new playlist?
At the end of the day, it would be cool to know each user that also likes your new music.
If you have ever wondered this, then we have some answers for you.

- Can you see who liked your Spotify playlist?;
- How many followers does my Spotify playlist have?;
- What to know about likes and followings on various Spotify apps.
Can You See Who Liked Your Spotify Playlist?
Let’s get straight to the point here: no, you can’t see the individual profiles of the users who liked your Spotify playlist.
There used to be a feature to see the likes on your songs, library playlists, and more, but Spotify removed it back in 2013.
You can only see the total number of likes on your Spotify profile.
This applies both to the Spotify desktop app and the mobile app for iPhone and Android as well.
It is possible to see your Spotify listening history, playlist name, account settings, new music genre releases, and more, but when it comes to checking each new follower that your playlist has, you won’t be able to do it.
Playlist Likes vs. Follower Counts
There seems to be confusion between likes and followers: they are the same thing.
If you open your Spotify account on a mobile device, you will see a likes count.
On the other hand, if you launch Spotify on a computer, you will see a follower count.
You can see only the number by using this feature, regardless if you use the browser version or the mobile Spotify app.
Besides, it is worth noting that you can only use this feature on public playlists.
If you make a Spotify playlist private, you won’t be able to see how many people have liked or followed that playlist.
Playlist Statistics for Creators and Artists
Artists on Spotify have way more features to check their statistics without using third-party apps.
Nonetheless, even if millions of users have liked their favorite songs on their playlists, it is impossible for playlist creators to access the exact profiles of the people who have liked their playlist’s title.
Therefore, don’t get desperate - checking the total like count is possible, but checking each person who liked a public playlist is a feature that doesn’t exist.
We have no idea if Spotify will integrate it in the future (we hope so!), but so far, it seems like a long shot.
How to See Your Spotify Playlist Followers
It has been established: you cannot see who liked your playlist on Spotify, but you can indeed check the number of individuals who follows your Spotify playlist.
Likewise, it is possible to check your friend’s Spotify playlist followers if you add them.
You can also see what they listen to on Spotify by doing the same. Without further ado, let’s check your followers’ number!

1. Check Followers of Spotify Playlists on Desktop
If you use the Spotify Web Player or Desktop App you are able to see your followers by going to your library.
- Open Spotify on your PC or Mac, and search for the “Library” option on your account. It should be at the left sidebar of the screen;
- Then, click on the playlist where you need to see the followers;
- The followers will appear right under the playlist title. Remember that this will be a complete number and not an in-detail screen.
2. Check Spotify Users Likes on Android and iPhone
On the other hand, you can also check who liked your playlist (which is essentially the same thing as “followers”) on the Spotify mobile app by doing this:
- Log in to your Spotify account and search for the “Library” option at the bottom right corner of the screen;
- Tap on the playlist you want to check;
- There, you will see the total number of likes that your songs have got.
At last, we know that this isn’t the same thing as checking your playlists likes, but you can also view profile of each person who follows you if you have a public account.
Do this on your Android or iPhone:
- Open Spotify and tap on your profile picture;
- Tap on your profile name and your page will open;
- Finally, select the followers tab. Here you can see each account that has followed your profile. There’s a high chance that your followers have liked your playlists as well!
And that will be all for today. In short, you cannot see who liked your playlists, but you can see the total like count without problems.

FAQ
How to See Who Liked Your Playlist on Spotify?
You cannot see who liked your playlists on Spotify.
There isn’t a feature to check each profile on the app, but you can see the total like count if you follow the aforementioned steps in this guide.
In any case, not even artists with verified profiles can check each account that has liked their playlist, so this is not a feature that exists whatsoever.
Will They Know If You Like a Playlist on Spotify?
No. Whenever someone likes your playlists, you won’t receive a notification.
Likewise, other users will also not receive any kind of notifications if you like their playlists. Thus, there’s no way to see whether someone has liked your playlist or not - as simple as that!
