Find friends on Spotify

You can easily find and follow your friends on Spotify. You can use it to find out, for example, which music is particularly popular with others, or which playlists a friend has published. A distinction must be made here whether you and your friend have linked Spotify via the Facebook account or not. We show instructions for both options.

Add friends via Facebook on Spotify

If you have signed in to Spotify using your Facebook account, finding your friends is particularly easy - provided, of course, that you are friends with you on Facebook.

1. In Spotify, go to "Follow" in the left menu bar.
2. Select "Find friends" above. Here you can see all Facebook friends who also use Spotify.
3. After the name go to the big green button "+ Follow".
4. You then added the person as a friend on Spotify.

Find friends without Facebook

If you or your friend are not logged in with Facebook, you can still easily find yourself with the user name. The user name can be called up via Spotify under "Help"> "Your account".

1. Enter the code "spotify: user: username" in the search field of Spotify, whereby of course you enter the real username of your friend instead of "username".
2. You will be automatically redirected to the friend's Spotify page. Click on the green "+ Follow" button there.

This guide refers to Spotify version 0.9.4.185 on Windows 8. If you do not want to share the music you are listening to with your friends, you can open a so-called "private session". You can find out how this works in this practical tip.
