What Are Smart Filters?
Spotify’s Smart Filters is a new feature that lets users filter their saved content by activity, mood, or genre. Whether you’re looking for something to get you pumped for a workout, wind down at the end of the day, or just vibe with something mellow, these filters aim to surface content that matches your current state of mind or context. Smart Filters allow Spotify Premium users to organize and explore their saved content—like playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks—more intuitively. You can filter your library by three main categories:
-
Activity (e.g., Running, Party, Yoga, Dinner, Sleeping)
-
Mood (e.g., Relaxing, Motivation, Romantic, Solitude)
-
Genre (e.g., Indie Pop, Jazz Hop–Hop, UK Hip-Hop)
Availability & How to Access It
Spotify Smart Filters are rolling out gradually. It’s currently available to Spotify Premium users on mobile and tablet devices in a set of English-speaking regions: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, and the US. Spotify says the full rollout within these regions will happen over the next few weeks.

How It Works
-
To use Spotify Smart Filters, go to Your Library and tap the filter icon in the top left corner.
-
A menu appears showing filter options under “Activity,” “Mood,” or “Genre,” each with subcategories tailored to what you’ve saved.
-
Selecting a filter refreshes your library to show content only matching that filter. If you want to go back, you can clear the filter with an “X” or similar option.
Other New Controls & Features
Smart Filters is just one piece of a broader set of updates from Spotify designed to give users more control over their listening experience. These include:
-
Hiding songs you don’t want to hear — remove them from playing in future sessions.
-
Snoozing tracks for 30 days so they don’t appear in recommendations.
-
Refreshing Discover Weekly by choosing genres — gives you a fresh playlist mix based on your history + selected genres
-
Queue improvements (shuffle, repeat, smart shuffle) and the ability to toggle off autoplay.
-
Voice-powered “DJ” mode: you can ask the DJ via voice for a mood, genre, or vibe, and it will tailor a session accordingly.
What Doesn’t It Do (Yet)
A notable limitation: Smart Filters currently do not apply to individual liked songs or single tracks saved directly from albums. They only work for broader saved content like playlists, artists, and albums — meaning users who rely heavily on individual tracks might find the feature less useful for now.
Why It Matters
-
Declutters your library with a more meaningful way to sort through content, solving the long-standing issue of a cluttered interface..
-
Offers contextual discovery — quickly find playlists or podcasts fitting your current mood or activity vibe.
-
Part of Spotify’s broader push toward hyper-personalization, with updates earlier in 2025 including AI-assisted playlist creation, voice commands for Spotify DJ, custom Discover Weekly genres, and new playlist tools like custom covers and snooze/hide track features.
