Steps
Decide what you are sharing. A single Spotify account allows one stream at a time, so you and your friend cannot play different songs at the same moment.
Open Spotify on your phone, tap your profile picture and go to Settings. Check the plan name shown there so you know if you are on Free or Premium.
Give your friend the account email and password directly, not in a public post. Ask them to log in on their own device with those details.
On their device, open the Spotify app, tap Log in and enter the email and password. Skip the sign-up screen.
If Spotify says it is playing on another device, open the app on the device you want to use and tap the device name at the bottom of the player to switch playback to it.
Set a strong password you have not used elsewhere, then log out of any old devices from your account page so only the people you trust stay signed in.
For regular sharing, compare plans. Premium Duo or Family gives each person their own login and separate playback, which avoids the one-stream problem.
If you keep sharing one login, agree on listening times and pause playback on one device before starting on the other.
Tips and common mistakes
Sharing one login means only one person can play music at a time, so expect the "playing on another device" message.
Never post your Spotify password in a group chat or comment section, since anyone who sees it can take over the account.
Spotify's terms are built around personal accounts, so heavy sharing of one login can put the account at risk.
Premium Duo and Family plans are the safe route if two or more people want to listen at the same time.
Questions
Can two people use one Spotify account at the same time?
No. A single account plays on one device at a time. If a second device starts playing, the first one stops or shows a playback error.
Will sharing my Spotify account get me banned?
Spotify expects accounts to be used by one person, and unusual sharing can trigger checks or limits. Using Duo or Family keeps each person on their own login.
How do I stop the "playing on another device" message?
Open Spotify on the device you want, tap the device name at the bottom of the player and pick your device. Then pause the other device before you press play.
