    That’s a fair response to the original post. Made an edit to expound.

    My problem with it is that I’ve never used Spotify messages, yet there’s already a few threads on my account with dozens of “messages”. My best guess is that the thread tracks unique links that I’ve sent to friends outside of the app and they’ve opened while logged in with their accounts. I don’t like that.

    It’s that Spotify has obviously been tracking the songs I’ve exchanged with friends for a while now. I have never used the messaging feature, yet every album I’ve sent to friends is already in the messages thread. They’ve clearly been using unique links to track who sends music to who – covertly, even outside of the app.
