What Is The Recently Played Section On Spotify?

Under Your Library, you will see a list of options. Click on History.

Additional Tips To Prevent Songs From Showing Up In Your Recently Played
If you don’t want a song to show up in your Recently Played list, you can add it to your Spotify Radio. Go to the song’s page and click on the three dots next to the play button. A menu will appear with the option to Add To Your Radio. The song will be added to your Radio and won’t appear in Recently Played.
If you want to get rid of a song or album from your Recently Played list that’s already been played, you can remove it by hovering over the play button to its right and then clicking the X that appears. Doing this won’t delete the song from Spotify but will only remove it from your Recently Played list.
If you want to prevent songs from being added to your Recently Played list in the future, you can do so by disabling the History feature. Go to Your Library > History and toggle the switch off to do this. Keep in mind that if you disable History, it will also prevent your progress on songs from being saved.
