Spotify adds messages feature to share music and podcasts
The new feature allows reactions, text replies, and suggested contacts while complementing social media sharing options.

Spotify is launching a new Messages feature, enabling users aged 16 and older in select markets to share music, podcasts, and audiobooks directly within the app. The update lets users chat one-on-one with friends and family to share and discuss favourite content.
Users can react with emojis and text, accept or reject message requests, and see suggested contacts based on past sharing, collaborative playlists, or Family and Duo plans. The feature complements existing social media sharing options rather than replacing them.
Spotify plans to refine and expand the feature globally in the coming months, aiming to make connecting over music, podcasts, and audiobooks more seamless and engaging.
