Mentioning music on Facebook’s messaging app now lets you share your favorite jams in-app.
Facebook Messenger can do so much more than send texts. In addition to video chats, holding polls and even playing games, it appears the messaging app’s next trick is knowing when to suggest tunes.
Mentioning music on Messenger now prompts music recommendations from Spotify — allowing users to browse a truncated version of the mega-popular streaming site to find just the right jams for their chat.
The feature seemingly comes courtesy of M, Facebook’s built-in assistant for Messenger, which picks up on certain phrases like «get a ride» to summon a car, «pay you back» to offer payment services or in this case, «play/recommend some music» to bring up Spotify.
