TL;DR

• Spotify Messages now offers an opt-in Listening activity feature, allowing connected friends and family to see what you are playing in real-time.
• A new Request to Jam button has been added to chats, making it easier to coordinate and start remote shared listening sessions.
• The features are rolling out to iOS and Android users in markets where Messages is enabled. Group chat support is planned for the near future.

Spotify rolled out a Messages feature in August last year, and today, the company is expanding its functionality with Listening Activity and Request to Jam.

Listening activity is an opt-in feature that allows Spotify users to display the music they’re currently listening to within Spotify Messages in real-time. If you’re not actively listening, your most recently played song will be displayed instead.
