Spotify on Tuesday introduced a way for you to chat with your friends in a bid to become a more social app.

Users have shared Spotify links for music and podcasts with others outside the platform for years. With its new feature, Spotify is pushing users to do more within the app while also keeping the history of shared content, so users don’t have to search for a song.

At launch, messages are one-on-one, and you can only start a chat with someone with whom you’ve previously shared content. That means if you have a collaborative playlist with someone, or have joined a jam or a blend, you can start a conversation with them.

This also applies to people on a Family or Duo plan with you. Once you send a request, they will have to approve it to start a conversation.

Outside of Spotify, if someone sends a Spotify link to you on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, or TikTok, you can tap on it and approve their request to chat. Alternatively, you can send an invite link to someone in your contacts.

The company said that users should continue sharing content outside Spotify, and the new message feature is a “complement” to that.

Users can access messages by tapping on their profile pictures. Conversations can be viewed under the Messages section on the hover bar located on the left. Users can also react to specific messages using emojis.

The company noted that messages are encrypted at rest and in transit; however, messages are not protected by end-to-end encryption. The company proactively checks messages to see if they are breaking its rules. What’s more, Spotify said that users can report messages, and the company will investigate those messages against its terms of service and platform rules.
