Spotify changed the Friend Activity settings to “off” without notifying people. Most people I asked did not realize their activity is now off. It's saddening me that this most important social feature Spotify had is now basically useless. Sure you can tell your close friends to turn their activity back on, but I follow a lot of people I'm not friends with in real life so I cannot tell them. It was a great way to discover new music and it's a shame this opportunity to find new music is now gone. Also there was always the option to turn the activity off for those people who did not want other people to see their activity, so I don't see how this is a privacy issue? Is there any way to undo this update?

Hello,
with the new update on desktop, friends who are active on Spotify are not indicated by the wiggling icon anymore but instead with a bright blue dot - very similiar to the dot that would usually notify you if there was a new update avalible.
It is very irritating to see something usually associated with a notification appear on the feed with no way to deactivate it, constantly drawing the attention of the viewer.
I enjoy seeing my friends activity and don't want to have to hide it completely, but this ux design change is not helpful.
Please remove the bright blue dot, thank you in advance

The friend's activity feed appears to show you what your friends are currently listening to, however it actually shows their previous song. This diminishes the meaning of the feature if it shows me listening to a song I have skipped for the duration of the next song. Similar to that, the feed will make it look like I skipped a song that I did not if I skip the song after it. Simply sharing a truly live feed of what each user is listening to truly accomplishes what this feature is meant for.

Similar to at least one idea I saw on this forum, I thought it would be a cool idea that you could (like instagram live) send a like or an emoji (from a selection) in real time - as your friend is listening to it. It's a simple addition, that informs your friend their song choice/artist choice/playlist or even album choice is being recognised in a positive manner. This could happen having an extra tab/button to click that opens up a simple pop up of your choices and then that sends a little discrete pop up to the listener. See the very poorly created images I made for reference

I mean whats the point of setting it back to off on default when there is already an option there for them to turn it to private by themselves. As of now i see that there is no point of having the friend activity tab cause none of my friends knew about this and you want us to 1 by 1 to inform them to turn it back on?

It would be great to have podcasts show up on the activity status/friend feed bar as they are a growing media form, and I use Spotify's podcast feature a lot now.

Since there has been a lot of complaints about Spotify turning the friends activity sharing of it‘s users to „off“ by default and people feel like they have not been informed properly I have following suggestions: 1. You could put the toggle to turn your activity sharing on/off on the top of the actual friend feed sidebar for example so it would be very clear for everyone if they are sharing their activity at the moment or not. This would also make it apparent to many people that their sharing has been turned to off without them noticing, and those who choose to could turn it back on. If these settings were more apparent, it would also help users to have more control over whether they are sharing their listening activities at the moment or not which would be beneficial for everyone. 2. I think it would be fair if people only were able to see their friends listening activities if the turn their own activity sharing on.

It seems the only way you can find friends on Spotify is if you know their Spotify username or you connect to your Facebook account. I don't have a Facebook account, and so discovering which of my friends are on Spotify and then finding them is next to impossible. It'd be helpful if Spotify could look at email addresses in my contacts and let me know which of my friends are on Spotify and give me the option to follow them.

This is such a bummer that you took the feature down where you click on an artist and you know which ones of your followers also listen. This makes it harder to see which friends like the same music as you. I want to invite some friends to a concert, but now I have to track people down who like the same band/ singer. Bad move Spotify

I have a feeling that the staff over at Spotify was misinformed about turning off everyone’s friend activity toggle. It’s important that they should know that a lot of Spotify users are upset and angry about this change, they were uninformed that their toggle was turned off, and nobody asked to have their toggle turned off or made an idea that this was a privacy concern. A couple of people made feedbacks complaining that everyone’s activity was turned off and nobody was aware of it. This absolutely has nothing to do with a privacy, for anything it’s privacy violation for switching someone’s settings without letting them know.

I really like the "here's what your friends are listening to" tab on the Desktop player. What if there was a For You, By Friends section of the menu on mobile? Currently you have to go into their profile and scroll through their playlist but what if there was a spot on the front page ? I think it would help people interact with their friends/followers more. I picture it like a daily mix style of your friends music playlist or top hits for each friend.

I’d like to able to locate other spotify users in my area to be able to befriend people with the same music taste as me. I believe it would be fun since sometimes I can hear playlist from afar (which I think are cool) so I could find the person with that playlist and talk to them about it. My fiends and I have talked about this a lot since we’ve had the same experience of sharing to find the source of music that we like, especially when we go on trips and want to meet new people.

What was that update? We already could disable that option on our own, spotify didn't even noticed us about the change and we are left thinking that it was a bug. I didn't know mine was disabled and it's embarassing to ask people that also didn't to turn it back on, so please, set it back to default or at least make the change clear with a notification.

I think it would be very interesting to have a feature about sharing songs with your friends on Spotify. Since you can see your friends activities, even if you don't talk about it outside the app you see what type of music they listen to. So, if there was a button like "share a song" under the list where you add the song you listen to a playlist or even on someone's main page. We genuinely forget to talk about music tastes on a daily basis, sometimes I find a piece of music from Spotify and be like " **bleep** Ata would love this song, it's just his type" and forget about it afterwards or I just don't feel the most comfortable to talk about my not so close friends listening activity on a random chat but sending a song like that would be way more chill. This would also increase the usage of recommended songs playlist on Spotify. I think it would make a great hype and it would be very fun, like sending a dm through Spotify (but only music)

I recently started to use my chromebook to listen to Spotify, however I noticed that it does not share my listening activity with my followers anymore. It also does not show the listening activities of the people I follow. My friends and I use listening activity to share new music with each other, so with that feature not available on the Chromebook, I'm missing out. On the Chromebook, I use both the Spotify Web Player and the app, but listening activity is not present on either of those outlets. I am a Spotify Premium user and do not appreciate these limited social features on my device.

In the friend activity box there should be a thing where you can give your friends suggestions and receive suggestions. To get to suggestions there could be a little bell in the top and when someone has suggested something theres a 1 or 2 etc. on it depending on how many new suggestions there are.

I believe there should be a way to view if a user is free / premium. This makes it easier for things like buying giftcards, using aux with friends etc. A suggestion is a little symbol next to their display name or above that next to "profile". If the specific user is premium, you would be able to see that symbol and know.

Whenever I see a friend playing a song that I enjoy, I wish there was a like button. This would make the spotify experience a bit more social and fun.
