Tap on the Your Library tab in the bottom navigation. The “Your Library” tab is on the right side of the navigation bar and has an icon that looks like albums on a shelf. Tap on this icon.
Scroll down to the Recently Played section. The “Your Library” section has a number of options at the top, but scroll down to find the “Recently Played” section. This section displays artists, albums, and playlists you've recently listened to.
Tap the three vertical dots ⁝ next to something you want to hide. Find something you want to keep private and select the three vertical dots located to the right of it.
Tap the Hide option. A menu will pop up with a variety of options. Scroll down to find the “Hide” option and select it. After doing this, the music in question will now be hid from your “Recently Played” section.Advertisement
