Spotify Introduces In-App Messaging for Sharing Music Recommendations With Your Friends

From CNET: The subscribers spoke, and Spotify listened.

This week, the 19-year-old Swedish music streaming service will begin rolling out Messages within the Spotify app for subscribers to share recommendations about music, podcasts and audiobooks. Messages will be available to Free and Premium members 16 and older on mobile devices in certain markets.

Spotify says it will "continue building and refining the experience for more Spotify users around the globe in the months ahead."

The company stressed that its in-app Messages shouldn't be the only place users share recommendations. "As always, you should continue sharing Spotify content directly through your favorite platforms like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, TikTok, and more. Messages on Spotify are designed to complement these integrations, not replace them."

Spotify says Messages will not only be great for users, but also artists, authors and creators to spread the word about their work and "create new fans."
