Earlier this year, Spotify introduced a new Messenger bot <\/a>that let users share song clips with friends. Today, the company is expanding<\/a> on that bot\u2019s functionality to now allow a group of friends to build a playlist together via Messenger \u2013 even if not everyone in the group is on Spotify.<\/p>\n

The feature, called simply Group Playlists for Messenger, is accessed through Spotify\u2019s existing Messenger app. This is found by tapping on the blue plus sign to the right of the input box in Messenger, then selecting the Spotify Messenger extension in the list that appears.<\/p>\n

From there, the person creating the playlist \u2013 who must be a current Spotify user \u2013 clicks the new \u201cCreate\u201d button at the bottom of the screen, gives the playlist a title, then sends it into the group chat session. The thumbnail preview shared to the group will show the playlist\u2019s name and offer a button below to add songs.<\/p>\n

Anyone in the chat at that point can click to add their song selections to the playlist. And this doesn\u2019t require them to have a Spotify account, the company says.<\/p>\n

However, non-users can only preview the playlist in Messenger \u2013 to listen, they\u2019ll need to sign up and download Spotify\u2019s app. Meanwhile, existing users who have not yet connected their Spotify accounts to Facebook will be able to do so from the Spotify extension, we understand.<\/p>\n

Spotify already supported collaborative playlists<\/a> before today, across desktop, iPhone, iPad, and Android. These could be shared directly from Spotify to social networks and various messaging apps, too.<\/p>\n

But the new feature brings playlist building right into Messenger itself.<\/p>\n

Spotify declined to say how many people have used the Messenger bot since its launch, but did note that to date \u201cmillions of songs\u201d had been shared via the extension.<\/p>\n

The company also didn\u2019t say if it would roll out similar bots for other chat platforms in the future.<\/p>\n
