Spotify is developing 'Community' to let users view their friend's real-time activities

Along with Karaoke, the music streaming app is also developing a new feature called 'Community.' This feature will allow users of the app to see what music their friends are listening to, in real time.

According to reports, the 'Community' feature will also allow you to view your friends' updated playlists. The feature, which was first spotted by Chris Messina, is not publicly available yet, but iOS users can access it feature by typing "spotify: community" in the Safari browser on their phones.

The music streaming app said that the feature is still in the testing phase, but no further details were shared.

Over the years, the music streaming giant has tried to introduce features that promote personalisation and community building, giving it an edge over other music streaming apps.
