Can I Listen to Spotify with a Friend at the Same Time?

Yes, two people can listen to Spotify simultaneously, thanks to the Spotify Jam (formerly Group Session) feature.

If you want to add more friends to your listening party, groups of up to 32 people can start listening to a song or a playlist on one device or their own devices via Jam.

5. To exit the Jam, tapEnd if you are the host. As a guest, selectLeave to remove yourself from a friend’s Jam.
   If the host leaves a Jam, the session automatically ends for everyone else.

While listening to Spotify simultaneously, both host and guests can control the song or the playlist, unless the host changes this setting. It works just like any individual session:

• Host and guests can pause, play, skip, and select tracks to listen together.

• Any change will show up on all grouped devices in real-time.
