How to block artist on Spotify | Players

Spotify tests a feature that can block unwanted artists on the platform. Action prevents your music from playing on playlists, libraries, podcasts, or radio stations on the service. The feature called "Don't Play This Artist" works both for online music streaming and offline playback. Users gain greater autonomy over the music they hear through the platform. For now, the functionality is only available for iPhone (iOS) users, and does not appear in versions for Android, PC or web service.

With the feature enabled, the app skips artist tracks and skips their songs in playlists. It is also not possible to play the songs directly on the artist page so the user can view the list of songs and albums, but there is no activity when playing. On the other hand, the function only silences the artist's tracks individually, and does not prevent the playing of songs by other performers with whom he makes appearances (the so-called featurings). It is worth mentioning that you can undo the action at any time. Check out the following tutorial on how to block an artist on Spotify from your phone.
