What you need
Steps
Open the Spotify app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device and wait for the home screen to load.
Tap your profile icon in the top corner of the home screen to open the account menu.
Find the Messages section in that menu and tap it to see your existing chats.
Tap New Message. A list of your Spotify friends and family members appears.
Tap the person you want to chat with. A message window for that user opens.
Type your message in the text field, then tap the Send icon to deliver it.
To read a reply, go back to your profile icon, open Messages and tap the chat. You also get a notification when someone answers.
Tips and common mistakes
If no friends show up in the New Message list, follow people on Spotify first or ask them to follow you.
Messages only work in the mobile app, so you will not find the chat option on the desktop player.
Turn on Spotify notifications in your phone settings so you do not miss replies.
Keep messages friendly and short, since the chat is tied to your public Spotify profile.
Questions
Can I message someone on Spotify who does not follow me?
The New Message list only shows people you are connected to on Spotify. If someone is missing, follow them or have them follow you, then check the list again.
Where do I find my Spotify messages later?
Tap your profile icon on the home screen and open the Messages section. All your chats are listed there, and a notification appears when a new reply arrives.
Does Spotify messaging work on a computer?
No. The Messages feature is part of the Spotify mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android, so use your phone or tablet to send and read chats.
