How to improve Flow
The simplest way to improve your Flow is by adding more content to your Favorites and listening to music across the app. Whether it’s an album, an artist or a track, Flow absorbs it all.
By telling us what tracks, albums and artists you love or dislike, Flow can make better recommendations to suit your musical taste.
You can tell us what you like by using the Favorite button. You’ll see it beside every track, album, artist, and playlist.
Whenever you favorite a track, that content is added to your Favorites .
The Deezer Home tab
We created the Home tab specifically to recommend more music that you’ll enjoy.
In your Made for you section on your mobile device, you will find personalized playlists, inspired by your favorite artists, and new music specially tailored to your music taste. By adding songs and artists from Flow playlists to your Favorites, your Flow will become even better at serving your music needs.
