[All Platforms][Friend Feed] 'Likes and emojis' to a song/artist a friend is listening to

[lachlan_rw]

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

Love the reaction feature! It provides a fresh way into viewing Spotify as a social platform to interact with others.

I love this concept and would absolutely use it!! I always text my friends when I see that they're listening to something interesting, so being able to react within the Spotify app would be so convenient. I think it would bring more users to Spotify if the social aspect was amped up like this 😄

This concept would definitely take Spotify to the next level.

I love this idea. I would use the feature all the time! I never got to experience the messaging function in the old days of Spotify. The possibility of interacting with the people I see listening to music every day is exciting 🙂 a whole new level of connection

Hello @zeem!

I marked your idea as a New Suggestion. Thanks for bringing your feedback to the Spotify Community. I'd recommend checking out this article for more info on how the Ideas Exchange is managed.

Have a nice day 🙂

i think a mini direct message feature among those who follow each other mutually would be a great idea..
this has already been there in spotify's biggest competitor in the middle east, anghami

Would love the ability to chat with people in Spotify, for example, select someone from Friend Activity and comment on a song they are listening to.

When I open Spotify on my laptop, I can see what my friends are listening to at the same moment as me. Sometimes it will influence me, other times it doesn't. But for the times where I will listen to the song they are listening to, it would be nice to send them a "great song" or like "thanks for the suggestion" reaction (like an emoji or something). I'm not asking to bring back the chat but just something to interact with our friends on Spotify.

thanks for coming to my ted talk

This is a common use case for myself to discover tracks via friends’ Activity feed. I want to “thank” friend for playing track or for adding track to his/her public playlist so that friend’s activity is appreciated
