Hi all. Not sure if this is where I should ask but I figured I’ll try to get input.
I had no clue Spotify created a new messaging feature. I am only ever accessing the app to play music and I don’t explore many options in settings, etc so it was new to me.
It wasn’t until today that I clicked on something on accident and saw “Messages”. I got curious and I clicked on it and saw my ex. Originally, it popped up and had “accept/decline” but then changed to “start chat”.
The thing is, I haven’t had contact with this ex in 5 years. He does not have my number and I have his number blocked on my phone. The most odd thing is that it shows a thread of songs that was shared. Some songs were dated in 2024/2025, going back to 2021. I have never sent him anything and he hasn’t sent me anything to my knowledge. We do not have each other on social media either.
This was such an odd discovery. Has anyone else had this pop up?

Forgot to mention, yes we did have a shared playlist over 5 years ago.
