Spotify is testing this new feature that it may be ‘unsure’ of what it will do
Spotify is venturing beyond music with a new test feature: emergency alerts. The popular music streaming platform is well known for its library of audio content. This pilot program, currently running only in Sweden, explores the possibility of governments and disaster relief authorities using the app to broadcast important public announcements.
According to a report by TechCrunch, the code discovered within the Spotify app suggests that the system will be able to deliver updates on critical situations such as “accidents, serious events or disruptions of important services.”
