As a longtime Spotify user, I've always cherished the platform's early social features that let us connect over music. Sadly, most have vanished, leaving fans frustrated. While clever workarounds can restore some—like How to Restore the Best Features Spotify Has Removed—a promising new app called Vybes is stepping in to bring back that communal vibe. Here's what you need to know.
Vybes is designed for sharing Spotify music with friends in a fresh way. Skip the usual feeds, comments, and likes; instead, follow others on their musical adventures. See what your friends are streaming and join in seamlessly.
Currently in beta (sign up to try it), the full release was slated for late 2018. It's accessible on web, Android, and iOS.
