- See what your Facebook friends are listening to and share your own listening activity
- Use Facebook to log in to Spotify instead of creating a separate username and password
- Allow Spotify to access your Facebook profile information and find friends already on Spotify
- Share songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts to your Facebook Timeline with one click
- Create shared playlists among your Facebook friends
Re-connecting your accounts makes it easy to take advantage of these features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
What happens if I disconnect my Facebook and Spotify accounts again in the future?
You can always follow these same steps to re-link the accounts. Your profile info, friends, and other data will re-sync between the platforms once you reconnect them.
Can I link multiple Spotify accounts to one Facebook account?
No, Facebook only allows linking to one Spotify account per Facebook account. You would need separate Facebook accounts for each Spotify account you want to link.
Is Facebook the only social network I can connect to Spotify?
No! Spotify also allows connecting your account to Instagram, Twitter, Google, and more. However, the Facebook integration tends to be the most robust.
What happens to my Facebook friends’ activity in Spotify if we disconnect?
You will no longer be able to see what your Facebook friends are listening to or influencing your Spotify recommendations. Re-connecting allows this info to be shared again.
Can I link my Spotify account to a Facebook Page I manage rather than my personal profile?
No, you can only link your personal Facebook profile, not Pages you administer. This ensures your listening activity is only shared with your direct friends.
