Here are the latest news about Spotify:
02.09.25. Spotify launched Messages that allow to share audiobooks.
Spotify has introduced a new Messages feature that allows customers to exchange audiobooks (both in Premium and Free version). The function was created in response to requests of listeners who wanted more space in the room to discuss content with friends and family. Actually it's a chat where you can share content and react with emoji and text. To upload audiobook just click Share in the Now Playing window, select contact and send. The choice can be accepted and modified, after which the parties will be able to correspond and share new content. Chats section is available in the profile menu, in the upper left corner.
2025. Spotify added new subscription option for audiobooks
As you know, Spotify (unlike Audible) charges subscribers $11.99 for certain amount of audiobook listening time (15 hours) per month. This was done because people subscribed to Spotify mainly to listen to music without ads. Now, the service has added special option for audiobook listeners. The Audiobooks+ subscription gives an additional 15 hours of listening each month on top of the current base plan. Users can also purchase an additional 10 hours if they run out of monthly hours. Spotify claims that the new plan will help publishers and authors attract new listeners, increase revenue and together help the book industry reach new heights.
2025. Spotify to allow iOS users to buy audiobooks in app
Spotify to allow iPhone users in the United States to top up their credits directly within the main app and allow Premium users to use these credits for additional audiobook listening time. Premium users currently receive 15 free hours each month (which is an equivalent to listening to one full audiobook). This change will unlock new revenue opportunities for audiobook publishers and authors, allowing them to reach fans and access new audiences seamlessly.
