Five Spotify Functions You Need to Know

Spotify is a music streaming application widely used in Brazil, but users may not know all the features it offers. Did you know that it's possible to create a collaborative playlist with your friends and followers? Thus, it is possible to assemble the soundtrack of a trip together, for example.

In addition, the Android app lets you find a song, playlist, and more by just scanning a code from your phone's camera or even filtering your music to find all the downloaded audio. Offline mode prevents the application from spending the 4G Internet on your smartphone, and the "Behind the lyrics" feature shows you curiosities about the songs. Discover, in this tutorial, how to use all the little known tricks of Spotify.
