How to create playlists on Spotify with Facebook Messenger

Spotify has announced Group Playlists for Messenger, a feature that lets you create collaborative playlists of music streaming within Facebook Messenger chats. This feature is available for Android and iOS (iPhone) phones. On the computer, the user is invited to contribute music, but can only add them using a smartphone. The function is ideal for gathering your favorite songs as well as those of your friends on the same list, whether for a party or a trip.
