Saavn, one of the popular music streaming apps has received a major update on both Android and iOS that adds Saavn Social, a set of in-app social features. This lets you Tag, Follow, Chat, and Share on Saavn. You can Tag one or multiple friends in songs and playlists. Everyone tagged can comment on the content and engage in Music Chats for real-time digital conversations around music.
Commenting on the new features, Rishi Malhotra, Co-Founder and CEO of Saavn, said:
Social music is part of our DNA. Music is a snapshot of our memories, our friends, and our shared experiences, but there has yet to be a cool way to truly express yourself with digital music. Saavn Social has been years in the making, and the experience changes the way we listen to music with the most important people in our lives. You can tag your friends in music in the same way you would tag them in a photo, making it a shared experience that is simply a delight to use. We believe music is the best photograph of our lives and we have brought this to life with Saavn Social.
There have been a lot of social integrations in various music products, but no service has succeeded at enabling users to have a true, intuitive conversation around music. We are known for developing the best products in the market and we always design around the user, not around the device. We have been using Saavn Social internally for a few months and it’s changed the way we listen to and discover music. It’s the beginning of more product advancements we will launch in 2015.
