A new Spotify feature is letting its users slide into each other’s DMs — or direct messages — directly in the app.
Outside of the music streaming platform, users have been able to share links to songs, podcasts and audiobooks through text or social media platforms. Spotify said that changes are coming with the launch of Messages, expected later this week.
“Our goal is to give users what they want and make those moments of connection more seamless and streamlined in the Spotify app,” the company said in a news release.
Messages will allow users to share Spotify content and start a message in-app with people they have interacted with before through the music platform.
They will also be able to see suggested people to message based on those who have joined their playlists, as well as others who share a Family or Duo plan with them.
Users can access Messages when listening to a song, podcast or audiobook in the “Now Playing” view by pressing the share icon, choosing a friend to message and hitting “send” for them to get the message.
The new feature will be available for users 16 and older.
