That's only if you login with Facebook to Spotify... Which isn't required.

No, you are mistaken. I have no Facebook account.

Spotify phones home to Facebook the moment the app is opened. This can be confirmed with a no-root firewall like Netguard on Android.

This is why Little Snitch is fantastic.

Especially on the phone where most people use Spotify. Oh wait...

Tell Apple, not me. I’d have written it myself already if such a thing were possible. Special VPNs can do this, or you can just carry a travel router, 4g modem, and usb battery pack velcroed to your ankle, and connect to it via WiFi, so that you can blackhole things via DNS or iptables.

I almost never use Spotify on my phone. The one exception is when I needed to handle the music for my wedding (piped it through some massive bluetooth speakers).

I think you must recognise that you're an outlier.
