Spotify introduces direct messaging functionality, allowing users to share content like songs and podcasts directly within the app without external platforms.

The feature initially launches in regions including Latin America, the US, Canada, Brazil, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and soon the EU.

Available for users aged 16 and above on both Free and Premium tiers, the feature is accessible on mobile devices only.

Messages are protected with industry-standard encryption, and users can block unwanted contacts or report inappropriate content for moderation.

Sharing is simplified: while streaming, users can select a friend or contact to send the content to with a single tap.

This function fulfills a long-standing user demand, promoting music sharing and discovery, particularly benefiting emerging artists through enhanced recommendation dynamics.
