Spotify rolls out Listening Activity' and 'Request to Jam' features

Looks like Spotify fans are in for a treat. Recently, the app launched the Listening Activity and Request to Jam feature. That said, what should you know about it?

A way to showcase your music taste

For your information, the Listening Activity is a feature that allows you to show the music you are listening to to friends or family who have connected to you through Messages. If the user is no longer listening, the last song played will be displayed instead. This activity is only visible to connected contacts, and users always have full control to turn it on or off at any time.

Meanwhile, Request to Jam makes it easy for you to turn the music listening experience into a shared experience with your friends. Through Request to Jam, Premium users can invite friends or contacts to join a simultaneous listening session, add songs to a shared playlist, and interact via messages while the music is playing.

Additionally, the Listening Activity is available to all users via Messages, while the Request to Jam can be joined by free users when invited by a Premium user. Both features are being rolled out to iOS and Android versions in phases, with full availability expected by early February 2026.
