You can create a playlist on your music platform, and it will show up in the app, or you can create it on Swipefy!

How to create a playlist

For some unknown reason, the Spotify API won’t let us change the privacy setting for you. You must go into the Spotify app and adjust the privacy settings separately from Swipefy’s for each playlist you create.

<h3 id="lwldx8laatl" data-toc-id="lwldx8laatl">TLDR; We recommend starting fresh with Swipefy 2.0 and not importing your swipes from 1.0</h3>Your profile and friends are all already migrated and waiting for you in 2.0 :)And about your swipes: almost all issues in 1.0 were a result of a bad catalog (tracks, artist etc) setup. This is why we build 2.0 completely from the ground up and it’s working waaaay better. Though, the old catalog is so broken that it’s not reliable enough to use to migrate your old swipes the new app. It will result in many inaccuracies, hence why we decided not to automatically migrate everyone’s data.<h1 id="m8m0p2twli2" data-toc-id="m8m0p2twli2">I still want to migrate my data from 1.0</h1><h3 id="ec7zak1ep0c" data-toc-id="ec7zak1ep0c">Swipe History</h3>We’re currently working on a button to import either your likes, dislikes or both from 1.0 and this will soon be available in an update to the app. We will also notify in <a target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="link" href="https://discord.gg/swipefy">our Discord</a> when this feature is available.<h3 id="2xczllwzzp4" data-toc-id="2xczllwzzp4">Collections (playlists)</h3>Currently we don’t have plans to transfer them, but if you have synced your collections to Spotify it will show up as a playlist in the 2.0 app when launching the app.<h3 id="bm1cowz21fw" data-toc-id="bm1cowz21fw">Profile</h3>Your profile, profile picture, bio, pronouns, privacy settings, etc. are all automatically migrated to 2.0<h3 id="y2oc7ytkfdq" data-toc-id="y2oc7ytkfdq">Friends</h3>In 2.0 we replaced the friend system with a following system, so all your friends from 1.0 are now appearing as following you and you following them in 2.0.You can read more about the 2.0 transition on the Swipefy 2.0 blog post.
