Spotify today announced the introduction of a messaging feature with friends through their app, allowing users to interact and socialize, including sharing music or podcasts with each other.
Spotify calls this feature Messages, and it has begun to be offered to free users and Spotify Premium in several markets first. Users can easily start a conversation with friends with whom you have shared content, in addition to Spotify itself will suggest other users based on sharing plans, and other activities that have been done through Spotify before.
Spotify also encourages users to also share Spotify content through other applications such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and so on – and says that the Spotify Messages feature is only a complement and not a replacement for it.
This feature is being introduced in stages for users in a number of selected markets.
