My Question or Issue:  

Check my attached picture for reference.  I no longer can see what my friends are listening to.  I'm not sure if Spotify took this option out?  I remember it being fun to see what your facebook friends would listen to.  If you rememember it would show your friends on a list where their Facebook profile pictures would be in small circles in the top right on the artists page.  On the picture I attached I circled where it would be.

Hey @boxsolids, welcome to the community! We're here to help.

Sounds like you've lost the Friend Activity sidebar! Here are some steps to re-enable it.

Hope this helps!

No, my friend activity sidebar is there.  Just not included in the picture..  I'm talking about the list of people who listen to a specific artist.  I'm wondering if they took that out or something..

Upon looking a bit I found this link:  https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Windows/Friends-who-listen-to-an-artist-gone/td-p/4406348

So it appears Spotify took out this option?  Why on earth would they do that?  That's one of the coolest functions in my opinion.  You can see what friends listen to what!

Hey @boxsolids,

Sorry for the misunderstanding there. Spotify is always looking to find ways to improve their product all the time. Sometimes this requires taking out certain features based on customer and/or other feedback.

If you'd like the feature to come back, I suggest making a post in the Ideas board.

Hope this helps!
