Group Chat Playlists

Spotify's Group Playlists for Messenger is Perfect for Road Trips or Parties

— June 23, 2017 — Tech
Spotify Group Playlists for Messenger is a new way for friends to collaborate on playlists. The music streaming service announced the new feature, which works using Facebook Messenger and the Spotify extension. That being said you don't need to be on Spotify to contribute to the group playlist. A Spotify user needs to create the playlist, but once made even those not on the app can add songs to it.

Facebook Messenger has increasingly been the tool of choice for chatbot makers and now appears to be the go-to platform for brands seeking to make products a bit more social. Facebook has been facing increasing competition from other social media platforms over the last few years. However, things like Group Playlists for Messenger ensure that the company is still as relevant as ever.

3. App Agnostic Features - Features that are not limited to a single app or platform, like Spotify's group playlist allowing non-users to contribute, can attract a wider audience and create new opportunities for user engagement.
