This new page, confirmed to TechCrunch to be in development, pulls together your friend’s listening activity and updates to public playlists that you’re following – presumably, this would include updates to collaborative playlists you are a part of. In testing now, Spotify “Community” is an expansion of “Friend Activity” from the desktop app. That’s why it was so confusing that most features for Spotify friends were not available on Android or iOS.

While not everyone is a fan of the functionality, it certainly has a lot of potential to be fun. That tab, when enabled, could show what your Spotify or Facebook friends were up to on the platform, so you could check out songs they were listening to. Now, Spotify is finally preparing to bring friend activity to the mobile app with a “Community” feature.įor some background, the Spotify app on desktops – Windows and macOS, specifically – has long featured a “Friend Activity” panel. But for as long as those features have been around, they’ve never been available in the mobile app. Spotify has, for years, included some social features that make it easy to share playlists with friends, and even see what your friends have been listening to.
