    The wrap up is tracking you? This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen all year

      What? How else do you think they get all the info they are showing you in the wrap up if not by tracking?

        It’s normal that they track what you listen to on their application. They send you recommendations based on your music taste.

        It would be shocking if they sent you details about the books you’re reading or locations you’re visiting.

            I wasn’t clear. I’m seeing this take on Spotify as if they are illegally tracking your listening habits.

            We usually use track for apps like Facebook who track your behavior on your phone, in other apps, on your browser etc

            Saying Spotify is tracking you in the wrap gives a wrong impression.

            They are making a profile of your listening habits but it’s a normal thing for a music app to do. How else would you know the details of a song you just listened to or how can they recommend you new things.

      ??? the wrapped is a collection of data they have on you. It is them showing things they tracked about you last year
