How can i send private messages to a friend?

lutscho — Sat, 06 Jan 2018 13:46:55 GMT

Hello,

my plan is, to invite a friend to a common playlist. But I can't find an option to invite him. I can just make the playlist as a common playlist. I guess for all people that follow me. But it's only for us two.

Where is this option and how can i send private messages? I can't find the inbox.

Hey,

Here are the steps to share your playlist:

Click on something you'd like to share, or right-click it.
Click Share.
Click the channel you’d like to share to. You’re directed there in your web browser where you can log in.
Add or edit the message if you like, and post!

If you would like to share it in a private message, you could choose your preferred messaging platform, SMS, or you could copy the link and send it to them.

I can't find it. There is only Facebook, FB Messenger, Twitter, Telegram, Skype and Tumblr but no option for a private message.

Hey,

Those are your only options for sharing on the desktop client. However, you could choose to copy the Spotify song link and then paste it into a messenger of your choice.

There is more sharing options on mobile devices.

You cant do it

Messaging and inbox has gone

Ive no idea why this radio star person doesnt comprehend that or keeps telling you complete nonsense

Spotify took the feature away and even though there are 162 pages of complaints (and counting),they take no notice

I understand. As I already mentioned in my previous post, "Those are your only options for sharing on the desktop client". The private messaging inbox within Spotify has been gone for quite some time so I did not mention it as a way to share the playlist.

However, I did suggest some options so that lutscho would be able to share the playlist via a private message using another application.

Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂

If you understood fine,then why start giving instructions out on how to make a collaborative playlist which has nothng to do with the users problem

Then after it being reiterated yet again by the user stating they want to send in a private message,you start telling them to use other methods and social media to send the message without any mention of the fact that the feature had been removed

That was the question asked,so whats the point in giving answers that dont pertain to the question

You now mangaed to give the answer in this last post after i already told the answer

It isnt possible,it has been removed.You should of just said that in your first reply if you understood and pointed them to the relevant thread instead of them having to try and tell you 3 times that what you were saying was not what they were asking

Radio star l m a o 🙂

I'm sorry for any misunderstanding, I am just trying my very best to help people.

The problem was that they wanted to share a collaborative playlist with their friend, so I explained how to create a collaborative playlist, and how to share the playlist.

Once again, sorry for any misunderstood. Have a great day 🙂
