[Mobile][Friend Feed] Friends Activity on Mobile

Submitted by on ‎2015-06-17 06:27 PM
Status: implemented

Can Spotify impliment a way (like on Mac/PC) to see what everyone else is listening too, for iPhone/Galaxy? I'm interested in seeing other people's taste and more than likely, loving the song a lot. Also, in the process, seeing if that user is online listening, or how long ago they were listening. I would REALLY like to see that on a, hopefully, close by App Update.

Hey folks!

 

We're happy to share that Listening Activity is now live on mobile in select markets on Spotify Messages! Let the music easily start the conversations for you and don't forget to check out the remote Jam sessions function as well -

Listening activity is an opt-in feature that allows you to display what music you’re currently listening to within Messages in real time. If you’re not actively listening, your most recently played song will be displayed instead. It’s visible only to friends and family you have already connected with on Messages, and you can see others’ activity even if you haven’t turned your own activity on, as long as they’ve opted in.

 

Tip: You can use this support article to see how to toggle the Listening Activity option on/ off 🙂


To complement Listening Activity, we’re making it easier to turn musical moments into shared experiences with Request to Jam, a new way for users to invite friends or family they’re connected with in Messages into a live listening session.

Cheers & happy social listening!

Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search. 😉
This idea is a re-post of this inactive idea.

This is why ditched Rdio. Now that Apple Music is out I stuck to Spotify because of the desktop app showing what my friends were listening to. Why can't this be done on the iOS app?

Honestly!! Like everything that is on the computer software could easily be implemented into an iOS or Galaxy OS, making the experience so much better.

Have been waiting for a Friend Feed on mobile app for a long time. I think it's evident from the outcry that happened when Friend Feed was removed from desktop (to the point that Spotify reimplemented it) that this is a feature users really care about. I still get kudos on some comment I made within someone else's thread regarding the removal to this day and I think it happened over two years ago. Half of my Spotify usage is spent on mobile (desk job) but I know many other people who use only the mobile app. The Friend Feed is something that sets Spotify apart from its competitors.
