Spotify to introduce new feature only available to over 16s

Spotify has unveiled its intention to implement a messaging feature for both free and premium customers. This tool enables users the ability to share music, podcasts, and audiobooks, thus transforming its function into a social platform as opposed to just an audio one.

Strictly for users over the age of 16, the app will host interactions whereby users will have the ability to react to messages through text and emojis. In order to begin a conversation, users will need to tap the share icon in the "Now Playing" view, select a friend, and send through any content they wish their friend to hear, regardless of how bad their taste is.
