If you rely on Spotify for your daily music consumption, you might know how convenient the app is. The mobile app allows you to share songs with your friends in just a few taps. While using Spotify, we recently discovered another feature to share your favorite Spotify songs. The feature is known as Spotify codes, and it offers a brand new way for users to share and discover unique content on Spotify. Spotify Codes was introduced way back in 2017, but many users still don’t know how to use it.
What is Spotify Code?
Spotify codes are a feature that generates a scannable image for any song in Spotify. So, instead of sharing the Song link, users can generate a scannable image to share Spotify songs and playlists with other users. The other users need to use their Spotify mobile app to scan the QR code-type image. When a user scans this QR-type code, Spotify takes them to the item the code is. The good thing is that you can generate Spotify codes for songs, albums, artists, playlists, podcasts, and even your profile. The feature is available on both free & premium versions of Spotify.
