Listening to music with your friends or family is a very fun task, but sometimes it is difficult to agree on what should be played if a Bluetooth speaker or other device is being shared, as each person has a different taste and wants to take your turn.
How to Create or Join a Group Session on Spotify
Fortunately, to change this scenario a little, one of the most popular music streaming services has a very interesting new function for those who like to listen to music in a group.
Now, in the Spotify mobile app, you can create a group session and invite your friends or family to listen to the same song on just one device, with each person in the session being able to control what is being played. Next, see how to create group sessions on Spotify to listen to music with your friends or family.
This new Spotify feature is only available on the app for Android and iOS phones (iPhone system). In addition, it also only works with those who have a premium subscription to the service.
If the option to start a group session on Spotify does not appear, you must close the application and open it again or restart your phone.

When you want to end a group session, just follow the same procedure seen until the third step and use the “End session” function. In the message that appears, just tap “End”.
