Guide to Severing Spotify-Facebook Ties Completely

Spotify allows you to connect with Facebook in order to be more social about your listening activity and share your favorite tracks and lyrics with your Facebook friends.

However, perhaps you want to unlink your Facebook account from Spotify. In this case, you’ll want to set aside ten minutes or so, as unlinking your Facebook account from Spotify is not as simple as it sounds.

What You Should Do Before Unlinking Your Spotify Account From Facebook

Perhaps you no longer use Facebook and want to make sure you can still access your Spotify account without it. Perhaps you just prefer not to chain platforms together this way.

Spotify could definitely make it easier for you to unlink your Facebook account. Given how many ways to keep your Spotify account secure there are, it’d be easier to unlink from an app.
