My Question or Issue

This morning I tried to share one of my secret/private playlists with a friend but it said I could not. Is there a way to fix this? The image below shows what they see when they try to open the link to the playlist but when they send me their private playlists it works still. I also checked with a few difference friends and for all of them it either infinitely loaded or showed the image below.  

Update: Solved the issue

Hey there @shadowbat5557

 

Welcome to the Community and thanks for reaching out about this. 

 

We're currently rolling some tests regarding playlists privacy and that's what might be causing this.

 

We’re always testing possible improvements and new features, so you might see something on the app that other users don't.

 

In this case, we suggest that you make the playlists you want to share public, so your friends will be able to see and follow them. 

 

We really value your feedback as it helps inform our decisions going forward, and we'll be sure to pass this on to the right folks here at Spotify.

 

If you have any questions, just let us know!

"Make it public"....but that's the whole reason we made it private. We don't want others seeing it.

 

Why did you take this functionality (being able to share a Private Playlist) away on the mobile app (iphone)?

when will this be fixed? I don't want my playlist to be public, but i want people to still see my playlist when i shared it with only them. Please fix this.
