Spotify started testing a new type of playlist a couple of months ago, which suggested music that the user’s friends had recently listened to on the platform. The new playlist, dubbed Friends Weekly, is now rolling out to a larger audience, however, the company claims that it’s still in testing. (Image: Reddit u/reCAPTCHAmePLZ)

The report suggests that the new Friends Weekly playlist and the friends’ Discover Weekly playlists are being introduced to Spotify in an effort to make listening to music on the platform a more social experience. The new features are expected to engage more users around its own unique take on the activity feed. The new features will not only help users discover more songs on Spotify but will also serve as a means to spark conversations between people who have a similar taste in music.
