Following Playlists

Follow public playlists to save them and understand how unfollowing behaves for viewers and collaborators.

Following a playlist saves someone else’s playlist without turning it into your own editable copy.

Where The Follow Action Appears

For users who are not the playlist owner, BeatPass shows:

• Follow and Following on the playlist page.
• Follow and Unfollow in the playlist context menu.

Owners do not get the follow button for their own playlists.

What Following Does

• Saves the playlist to your account so you can find it again quickly.
• Keeps you on the original playlist rather than creating a duplicate.

Whether a followed playlist appears in your Library → Playlists list depends on how BeatPass attaches the relationship to your account. Not all followed playlists are guaranteed to show up in that view.

What Following Does Not Do

• It does not let ordinary followers add or remove tracks.
• It does not let ordinary followers rename the playlist or change its settings.
• It does not provide a dedicated playlist-update notification feed.

Unfollowing

Normal unfollowing:

1. Open the playlist or its context menu.
2. Use Following or Unfollow.
3. BeatPass removes the saved relationship.

Special Case: Collaborative Editors

If you are an accepted collaborator:

• The playlist can show the Following state.
• Unfollowing uses a confirmation flow because you are leaving the collaboration.
• Confirming removes your editor access — not just a follow relationship.
