You might have to give Spotify permission to access your phone’s camera, but once you’ve done so, it’s just a case of pointing your camera at the code.

When you’re playing a track, simply tap the three dots in the top right of the display to make the unique code appear.Īlternatively, if you want to scan a code, tap the search button at the bottom of your screen and then hit the camera icon at the top right. With such an action only taking a split second, that certainly beats firing up a messaging app to send the link or taking down the track’s details to conduct a manual search. So if, say, a friend plays you a new song they really love and you find that you also think that it’s pretty darn good, you can simply scan the song’s code to launch it in the Spotify app on your ow n phone. “Spotify Codes” lets you scan a bar code on a friend’s handset that takes you direct to the linked song, artist, or playlist.

Spotify recently rolled out a new feature that makes it easier for users to share music via the app.
