TL;DR Spotify is working on “Played Receipts” and “Saved Receipts” for its in-app Messages feature.
These would allow users to see when a shared song or podcast episode has been played or saved.
Users will be able to turn these receipts off to maintain privacy across all their chats.
Spotify rolled out the Messages feature in August last year, giving users a dedicated space within the app to share songs, podcasts, and audiobooks with friends and family. The company built up on it with Listening Activity and Request to Jam this year. There’s more to come for Messages, as we’ve now spotted the music equivalent of Read Receipts in development within the Spotify app.
Spotify v9.1.34.1586 includes strings for features called “Saved Receipts” and “Played Receipts.” Starting off, here’s what the app says about Saved Receipts:
Code Copy Text <string name="campfire_setting_saved_receipts_title">Saved receipts</string> <string name="campfire_setting_saved_receipts_subtitle">"People can see when you've saved a song or episode they sent you."</string>
In the above strings, “campfire” is the codename for Spotify’s Messages feature. As the string implies, Saved Receipts will allow others to see when you’ve saved a song or episode they sent to you in a message conversation within Spotify.
