Spotify: add friends - how it works

On Spotify, you can add your friends with just a few clicks. For example, you will be notified when your friends publish a new playlist or share a song with you.

Find Spotify friends on Facebook

Once you've signed in to Spotify with Facebook, it's easy to add your friends. Provided that these are also connected to a Facebook account.

1. Click on "Find friends" in the right menu bar.
2. Then a new window opens with a list of your Facebook contacts. Scroll to the desired contact here or use the search field.
3. Then add your friends using the "Follow" button.

Add friends without Facebook

If you or your friend use Spotify without Facebook, you will have to take a small detour. You will need your friend's username to do this. It can be found in Spotify in the "Help" and "Your Account" areas.

1. In the Spotify search, enter the command "spotify: user: username". Instead of "username", of course you put your friend's real username.
2. The profile of the person you are looking for opens automatically. Click here also on the "Follow" button.
