6 Easy Steps to Add a Friend on Spotify

Adding friends on Spotify is a great way to share music, discover new artists, and stay connected with people who have similar musical tastes. In this article, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide on how to friend someone on Spotify, whether they’re already on your platform or not. Before you start, make sure that you have a Spotify account and are logged in.

If the person you want to add is already on Spotify, the process is simple. First, open the Spotify app and go to the search bar. Type in their name or username and select their profile from the search results. Once you’re on their profile, click on the “Follow” button. They will then receive a notification and have the option to follow you back. Once they follow you, you will be able to see their activity in your “Following” feed.

If the person you want to add is not yet on Spotify, you can invite them to join. To do this, open the Spotify app and go to the “Your Library” tab. Then, click on the “Invite Friends” button. You can then enter the person’s email address or share a link with them. Once they join Spotify, they will be able to follow you and you will be able to follow them back.

Finding a User to Friend

To friend someone on Spotify, you’ll first need to find their profile. There are several ways to do this:

1. Search for their name

The simplest way to find someone on Spotify is to search for their name. To do this, click on the search bar at the top of the Spotify window and type in their name. Spotify will then generate a list of results that match your search, including user profiles, playlists, and songs.

2. Browse through your friends’ list

If you share mutual friends with the person you’re trying to find, you can browse through your list of “Friends” and “Followers” to see if they’re listed there. To do this, click on the “Friends” or “Following” tab in the left-hand sidebar of the Spotify window.

3. Follow them on social media

Many artists and musicians have official social media pages where they promote their music and interact with fans. If you follow the person you’re trying to friend on social media, you’ll be able to see their Spotify profile and send them a friend request directly.

Sending a Friend Request

To send a friend request on Spotify, follow these steps:

1. Open the Spotify app on your device.

2. Tap the “Search” tab at the bottom of the screen.

7. To cancel a friend request, tap on the person’s profile and tap the “Cancel Request” button.

There are a few things to keep in mind when sending friend requests:
