Spotify Expands In-App Social Features with New Group Messaging Functionality

Spotify is rolling out group chat capabilities, allowing users to converse about shared music, podcasts, or audiobooks with up to ten contacts directly within the application. This expansion builds upon the direct messaging feature introduced last August, aiming to deepen user engagement through social interaction. Access to these new group chats is gated, requiring prior interaction with the invited contacts through existing Spotify social tools like Collaborative Playlists or Jam sessions.
