Spotify has confirmed that it works on this function in statements to the specialized portal TechCrunch. In addition, he has recognized that he is currently in the earliest stages of his testing.

The function is currently only available for iOS users by typing the words ‘spotify:community’ in the browser Safari. It is then that the user is redirected to the ‘app’ and is shown this new ‘hub’. However, it is still not possible to listen to the song or list that one of your friends is currently listening to.
