After launching a about messaging in August, Spotify is now launching group chats. The company Office has partnered this week users can now share the podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks they’re listening to with up to 10 people.
You can only start a chat with someone you have previously shared content with. For example, if you have a collaborative playlist with someone or participated in a Jam or a Blend together, you can start a conversation with them.
The move comes as Spotify continues to invest in the development of its streaming app more social. Over the years, the company has gradually added social elements, including features such as comments on podcasts and the ability to follow someone and see what they are listening to.
Spotify has previously noted that users should continue to share content outside of the app, as the messaging feature is meant to augment that.
Messages are encrypted at rest and in transit. However, they are not protected by end-to-end encryption.
