Why Add Friends on Spotify?
Spotify has a lot of social features in the app. You can share songs with your friends, group sessions, and wrap up the year with an overview of what you played.
Spotify has introduced a number of new features in an effort to keep its users engaged. Collaborative playlists, which allow users to create Spotify playlists with music or podcasts from multiple people, is one such feature. Additionally, the app now allows users to follow friends on Spotify in order to exchange favorite songs and follow each other’s listening activity. This activity can be found in the Friend Activity or Community section of the app. ..
