Spotify launches a messaging feature in a bid to become more social

Spotify has introduced a new messaging feature that allows users to chat with friends directly within the app. This feature retains a history of shared content and is currently limited to one-on-one conversations with individuals users have previously shared content with. Users on Family or Duo plans can connect through this feature, requiring approval for conversations. Users can access messages by tapping on their profile pictures, and they can react to messages with emojis. Messages are encrypted but do not use end-to-end encryption, and Spotify monitors them for compliance with policies. The feature is being rolled out to users aged 16 and older in select Latin and South American markets, with plans for expansion to other regions soon. Users have raised concerns about the app's interface, citing visual clutter, but there is an option to disable messages in the settings.

5 apps you should use instead of Messenger

Messenger is popular in the U.S. but criticized for lacking default end-to-end encryption in group chats, allowing Meta access to messages. WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging app globally, offering default end-to-end encryption and a user-friendly interface. Signal prioritizes privacy with end-to-end encryption for all communications and minimal data collection, funded by user donations. Viber provides end-to-end encryption but faces concerns about data privacy due to ownership and increased advertisements. Google Messages uses RCS technology for enhanced communication but relies on carrier support for full functionality. Telegram offers community features and allows Secret Chats for privacy, but lacks default end-to-end encryption. Users face challenges when switching messaging platforms, often due to the need for mutual contacts.
