After launching a messaging feature<\/a> last August, Spotify is now rolling out group chats. The company announced<\/a> this week that users can now share the podcasts, playlists, and audiobooks they\u2019re listening to with up to 10 people.<\/p>\n You can only start a chat with someone you\u2019ve previously shared content with. For example, if you have a collaborative playlist with someone or have joined a Jam or a Blend together, you can start a conversation with them. <\/p>\n The move comes as Spotify continues to invest in making its streaming app more social<\/a>. Over the years, the company has gradually added social elements, including features such as comments on podcasts and the ability to follow someone and see what they listen to.<\/p>\n Spotify previously noted that users should continue sharing content outside the app, as its messaging feature is meant to complement that. <\/p>\n Messages are encrypted at rest and in transit. However, they are not protected by end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
