Music streaming platform Spotify has revealed that a new feature is coming this week, allowing fans to message each other on the platform.
Whether you listen to your favourite podcasts or jam out to the best songs, you’ll now be able to tell your friends and family all about it.
Announcing the news on X this evening (January 28), Spotify said that it had “entered the group chat”, since users can now talk to singular accounts or multiple people on the platform in a group chat.
It shared a video of how the new feature works and it’s easy to message and create a group chat whenever you’d like.

How to use Spotify Messages
You can share any content from Spotify as a message by using the arrow in a box icon and then searching for the account holder you want to start a conversation with.
To create a group chat, you’ll need to go to messages and click on ‘create group’ – you will then add up to 10 people, just like any group chat feature.
Once you’re in a group, you can share albums and playlists directly to your friends so they can find new things to listen to.
You'll just need to hit the share button, select your friend's account and hit send.
Explaining why it made the change to the platform, Spotify said: "Spotify users have told us they want a dedicated space within the app to share songs, podcasts, or audiobooks they’re excited about with friends and family, and an easy way to keep track of recommendations.
"For artists, authors, and creators, easier sharing means more word-of-mouth recommendations and helps create new fans.
"Our goal is to give users what they want and make those moments of connection more seamless and streamlined in the Spotify app."
Who can use Spotify Messages?
Messages will start rolling out to Free and Premium users in select markets on mobile devices this week.
Users must be aged 16 years and older to use the new feature.

Also on X, Spotify shared the three ways it’s encouraging people to discover new music.
It said users can use the DJ button to make text or voice requests from the home screen and look out for prompted playlists – suggestions made by Spotify.
Users can also fine-tune their Discover Weekly playlists using genre control.
