Spotify’s addition of in-app messaging a while back was probably one of the more unexpected surprises in tech that we saw last year. That in mind, Spotify has since added a few more tweaks since its introduction, the most recent being the addition of group chat support for messages.
As noted by the platform, users can now send chats as well as share podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks with up to ten other people within a group chat. An update on its original announcement page reads:
We love all the feedback on Messages. That’s why, starting today, you can now share to a group through Spotify Messages. Share the podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks you’re listening to with up to 10 friends and family members per chat, and keep the conversation going directly on Spotify. The same user controls and safety functions for 1:1 messages are available for group chats.
Earlier in January, Spotify also announced that it’s rolling out two major social updates to the app, which the platform says is designed to help friends connect over music in real time. Dubbed “Listening Activity” and “Request to Jam,” the new features are currently rolling out to iOS and Android users and are expected to be available in all messaging-enabled markets by early February.
