However, not all that glitters is gold, and this holds especially true for some Spotify playlists that employ bots to provide fake streams and followers. Knowing how to discern genuine playlists from fake ones is crucial for artists seeking to promote their music.

You can still see who follows your Spotify profile. 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.

Services that offer to increase your Spotify following for a fee are often selling bot followers—which will then be purged once Spotify detects the artificial activity.

When you reach the end of an album, playlist, or selection of songs, Spotify automatically plays similar songs so the music never stops. Pick your device for how to switch Autoplay on and off.
