Spotify adds DMS Edge

Spotify represents a Direct message function This allows users to share music, podcasts and recommendations for audiobook with each other without leaving the application. The messages roll in “Select Markets” this week, according to the Spotify Press Release and will be available on mobile devices for free and premium users older than 16 and above.

The current messaging functions can be accessed by touching the action icon when you listen to the song, podcast or audiobook in now playing and selecting a friend to send it. Spotify users can share content and start messages with people who share a spotify plan with or other users before they enrolled in spotify, such as via jams, mixtures and collaborative lists.

The feature aims to consolidate content recommendations that are already happening in connection with texts, social media and services for messaging in one location where spotify users can easily monitor their common content. Any audio content shared with or by users will be kept in the inbox messages accessible under the profile of the profile in the upper left corner of the application, making it easy to find in the future. Spotify says Messes of Users are 1: 1, support text conversations and emoji reaction and are protected by “industrial encryption” – which we will hope Corporate data leak.

Users can decide to accept or reject messages, block other users or completely exclude messages. Users can also report any common content and text messages or to the account that sent them, holding on to the message to flag anything non-factory. Spotify says it will proactively scan messages for “specific illegal and harmful content” and review the chases that reported users.

It is unclear whether the artist accounts will also be able to use the fan interaction function. Spotify says messages are created on “complement” how content is shared through platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp, Snapchat and tiktok, instead of replace these interactions. It is an intriguing social feature for adding, especially because it is available to free users, given the huge restrictions on these accounts and may be to rub the way for more direct users interaction in the user if it is well received well.
