JioSaavn decides what to show on your Home screen based on the music languages you pick. To change them, open your profile or the menu, go to Settings, tap Music Languages and tick the languages you want. Tap Done or Update, and the Home screen refreshes with songs, playlists and new releases in those languages.
This is useful if JioSaavn keeps showing Hindi or English songs when you mostly listen to Tamil, Punjabi, Bhojpuri or Marathi music. The steps below work on Android and iPhone, with a separate section for the website. Menu names can differ slightly between app versions, so look for close matches.
- Music language settings sit in Settings, usually under Music Languages.
- You can select several languages at once, such as Tamil and English.
- The setting shapes your Home screen and suggestions. Search still covers every language.
- On jiosaavn.com, use the language option at the top of the page.
What the Music Language Setting Controls
When you first open JioSaavn, it often asks which languages you listen to. That choice decides the trending charts, new releases, editorial playlists and radio stations you see on Home.
The setting does not lock you out of other music. You can still search for any song, in any language, and play it. It simply changes what the app puts in front of you without being asked.
It also does not change the language of menus and buttons. Changing your music language to Telugu, for example, brings Telugu songs forward, but labels such as Library and Settings may still appear in English.
Your phone’s language and your JioSaavn music languages are separate settings. If you want Hindi or Tamil menus in other apps, change that in your phone’s settings. In JioSaavn, the music language setting is about the songs you see.
How to Use the JioSaavn Change Language Option in the App
The steps are nearly the same on Android and iPhone.
- Open the JioSaavn app and make sure you are signed in.
- Tap your profile picture or the menu at the top of the Home screen. On some versions, a gear icon in the Library tab leads to the same place.
- Open Settings.
- Tap Music Languages, or a similar option such as Languages or Content Language.
- Tick each language you want. Untick any you do not listen to.
- Tap Done, Update or Save.
Go back to the Home screen and pull down to refresh if it does not change straight away. You should now see charts and playlists in your chosen languages.
A shortcut on some versions
Some app versions show a language button or chip near the top of the Home screen. Tapping it opens the same language list, so you can switch without going into Settings.
Choosing the Right Mix of Languages
You do not have to stick to one language. Most listeners pick two or three. Here are some common combinations:
| Your listening style | Languages to tick |
|---|---|
| Mostly Bollywood and Hindi pop | Hindi, with English if you like global hits |
| Tamil film music and some English | Tamil and English |
| Punjabi tracks with Hindi film songs | Punjabi and Hindi |
| Marathi or Gujarati family listening | Your regional language plus Hindi |
| Bhojpuri songs for festivals and functions | Bhojpuri and Hindi |
| Mixed household sharing one phone | Two or three languages everyone enjoys |
If you tick too many languages, the Home screen can feel crowded, and your favourite language may get less space. Start with a short list and add more later if you miss something.
Two or three languages usually give the best mix. If your Home screen still feels random, untick one language for a week and see if the suggestions feel more like your taste.
Changing Music Languages on the JioSaavn Website
If you listen on a laptop or desktop at jiosaavn.com, the language setting is easy to reach.
- Open jiosaavn.com in your browser and sign in.
- Look at the top bar for an option such as Music Languages. It usually shows the languages you have selected.
- Click it to open the list.
- Tick or untick languages.
- Click Update or Save.
The page reloads with music in your chosen languages. The website may keep its own setting, so you might need to set your languages again here even if you already did it in the app.
Getting Better Recommendations in Your Language
The language setting is the first step. JioSaavn also learns from what you actually play, so a few habits help it understand you faster:
- Like songs you enjoy by tapping the heart. Liked songs shape future suggestions.
- Follow artists who sing in your language. Their new releases are more likely to appear for you.
- Save albums and playlists to your Library instead of only playing them once.
- Skip songs you dislike rather than letting them play in full.
- Play a language-based radio station if your version offers one, to discover new songs in that language.
Recommendations improve over days and weeks, not minutes. Give it some time after you change your languages.
If several family members use one JioSaavn account, the suggestions will mix everyone’s taste. Separate accounts on separate phones keep recommendations more personal.
When Language Changes Do Not Seem to Work
- Home screen looks the same: pull down to refresh, or close the app fully and reopen it.
- Setting resets after a while: check that you are signed in. If you use JioSaavn without signing in, the app may forget your choices.
- Option is missing: update JioSaavn from the Play Store or App Store. Older versions may place the setting in a different menu.
- Still seeing many songs in other languages: some playlists and charts mix languages by design. Your own likes and follows will gradually shift the balance.
