One of the great features of Spotify Music is that it enables users to share their favorite playlists, albums with friends, family members through Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc. That is really cool and fun. However, it may post every song you played to Facebook for all your friends without any notifications. This is annoying and sometimes you may feel your privacy is violated.
Well, please just don't worry, there is an easy way to hide your currently playing music from the Facebook ticker. Just go to the Spotify's settings window and then scroll download to to the "Social" section and unselect the boxes in front of "Automatically make new playlists public" and "Show my current Top Artists". So easy, right? But if you feel insecure about it, you can also remove Spotify from Facebook throughly. Following are the top ways to do that.

On the other hand, if your Spotify account is logged with Facebook, you can't simply unlink Facebook. But you can go to your Facebook page/app to remove the integrated Spotify app too.You can do this via computers or mobile devices. Here I take the iPhone for example to show how it works.
Step 1. Click the blue app with white "f" icon to open Facebook on your iPhone and login with the account phone number/email and password.
Step 2. Tap the hamburger icon, scroll down and click "Settings" > "Account Settings" > "Apps" > "Logged in with Facebook".
Step 3. You will see a list of Apps, please find and click "Spotify" from the list.
Step 4. Finally you can click "Remove" to remove the Spotify app from your Facebook account and revoke Spotify's ability to post on Facebook.
Note: In this way, your Spotify account will be removed and you won't have access to it after it is done. So please make sure you have already backup your music before you do that.
If you still can't find the option to preventing Facebook from posting your Spotify songs automatically, maybe it it time to create a new Spotify account from scratch. When doing that, please choose the option to sign up with an email address and password instead of logging in with Facebook. As for your original existing music including tracks, albums, playlists and follower, you can contact Spotify support team to transfer them to your new account. Or you can simply download all the Spotify songs offline and add them to your new accounts manually.
