"The company on Wednesday said it is introducing a new Messages feature that will let users see what their friends are streaming in real time and send requests to start Jams, the app's collaborative listening feature. Users would first have to navigate to their Settings and turn on the "listening activity" feature in the "Privacy & Social" section. Once that's done, your listening activity will appear at the top of Messages chats."
"As for starting a Jam, Premium users can tap the "Jam" option in the top right corner to send a request to their friends. If the other user accepts it, they will become the Jam host, and both users would be able to add tracks to a shared queue and listen to music together. Listening Activity and Request to Jam will roll out to the iOS and Android apps in markets where Messages is available, and will be broadly available in these markets."
Spotify is adding Messages features that surface friends' real-time listening activity and enable Request to Jam invites for collaborative listening. Users must enable the "listening activity" option under "Privacy & Social" in Settings to share their streams at the top of Messages chats. Tapping a friend's listening activity allows playing the track, saving it, opening the menu, or reacting with an emoji. Premium users can send Jam requests; an accepting friend becomes the Jam host and both can add tracks to a shared queue. The features roll out to iOS and Android in Messages markets and are available to users 16 and older.
