It seems that virtual assistants are not just an integrated part of an operating system. There are more and more applications that have an intelligent system to make suggestions or even to attend to your wishes. One of the last to jump on this bandwagon has been Spotify, although many users do not agree with this feature very much. Why resides in the way the application manages the privacy of users, something for which the firm itself has spoken out.
How Spotify Manages Your Voice
The streaming music application is one of the most widespread and is getting bigger in terms of functions. He has not only focused on offering a better service to his content creators, he has also proposed solutions for a better user experience.
But for the latter, not only do you need better playlists, you also need more modern and current services. And with these views, the Spotify virtual assistant was born, something that many have not quite convinced. The problem is an old acquaintance: privacy. And the first thing he said is that the function is not activated passively, so it is not listening to what you are saying at all times. Come on, it only listens when you use it.
According to what the firm notices in its blog the system will be used for “cbetter understand the user and help us provide a response or take action”. But the thing does not end there since you also want to get more benefit from sharing data. In this sense, the firm highlights that “your data will be used to improve the voice functionality in Spotify, to develop new voice functions and to help us provide you with advertising that is more relevant to you.”
One function for everyone
The Spotify Virtual Assistant it is not a characteristic that affects only one type of payment. Come on, whether you are Premium or not you have this feature and therefore you do not get rid of its use. At least if you don’t want to be clear as the company says you can mute this function at any time. In this way you can avoid using the new Spotify feature and everything will go back to the way it was before, at least it will be for you.
