Please don't send alerts to my phone that start with 'Lick my **bleep**'

[Izisery]

Even if I would like to listen to this song, I would not like this alert to just randomly appear on my phone. I can't think of a single context in which anyone would want this alert to pop up on their phone. I consider this rude and inconsiderate to the users of your program.

Hi there,
Welcome at the Spotify Community!

Do you mean that when a song starts playing, and you've Spotify running at the background.. That it shows the title/artist?

This is so Spotify can run properly at the background and won't get closed by your phone.

No, I mean there's a new song out by this name, and they sent me an alert that it had been added to spotify. I've never even heard of the artist. I assumed it was something they sent to everyone.

You're probably subscribed to an playlist where that song is added to.

In Android you can disable this by going to Settings (from the Spotify app) -> Notifications -> "Edited Playlist"*
