SpotSpotify has launched a new feature that lets people send messages to each other inside the app. The change means you no longer need to leave Spotify to share a song, podcast, or audiobook with a friend. The feature will be rolled out in a few markets and will be available to both free and premium users who are 16.

If the person you message accepts the request, you can keep sending them items and see past messages from your profile menu. Spotify says the feature was made because users asked for an easier way to keep track of things shared on the platform.
