Spotify to offer one of the best paid features, but there's a big catch

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 18:00

Spotify is preparing an important change on its music streaming platform. The company will allow the creation of Jam sessions without requiring users to have a Premium account, something that represents a significant change in the service's policy.

Jam sessions are a collaborative tool that allows several users to simultaneously participate in choosing the music being played. Until now, this feature was reserved only for Spotify Premium subscribers.

The update will make this feature more accessible to a larger number of platform users. However, the article indicates that there is a condition or limitation associated with this change, although the specific details are not fully mentioned in the available text.
