I have no idea who Andrew Orona is, though. Spotify has a new Community Hub to see what your friends are listening to live and what playlists they've recently updated. Now, it appears that Spotify may be changing course. Though some people still wanted access to their Friend Activity on mobile, the company in 2019 shot down plans to add this feature after a user request on its community forums received some 7,451 votes. As a result, the companyâs focus on usersâ personal friend networks was de-emphasized in the product. Playlists customized to the individual listener - like Spotifyâs flagship Discover Weekly, for example - had been helping to attract and retain users more than seeing what friends streamed. But, in later years, Spotify looked more toward personalization features to give it an advantage over streaming rivals. The companyâs roots as a social music streaming app had helped the company grow in earlier days by leveraging its Facebook integration to build out its friend graph.
Reached for comment, Spotify confirmed the feature was in the early testing phases but declined to share more details.
The company today offers a similar âFriend Activityâ feature on the desktop but had limited usersâ access to that same Friend Activity on mobile devices. Spotify is developing a new feature called Community that would allow mobile users to see what sort of music their friends are streaming in real time as well as what playlists theyâve recently updated in a dedicated place in the app.
