How to add friends on Spotify without Facebook
Adding your friends to Spotify without Facebook is a straightforward process that takes only a few minutes. All you need is the Spotify username of your friend.
Keep in mind that a Spotify username is typically a jumbled collection of letters and digits. Your username is provided to you the minute you create your account, and you can’t change it.
Although you cannot edit your display name, you can modify the name that appears on your profile and that is what your friends will see once they follow you.
Here’s how to find your Spotify username to share with friends.
- Open the Spotify app on your mobile or desktop.
- Navigate to the Settings menu by clicking on the gear symbol in the top right corner of your screen.
- You’ll see your username at the top of the Menu, together with your email address and subscription information, in this section.
Since you’re the only one who can see the username, you’ll need to ask your friends to follow these steps and provide you with their usernames in order to be able to follow them.
How to find friends on Spotify without Facebook
It’s not possible to find friends on Spotify without Facebook unless they give you their username.

- If you haven’t already, log in and go to your Home page.
- Go to the top of your screen and type in “spotify:user:username” in the search field.
- Open your friend’s profile once you’ve found them.
- Select the option to Follow. Your friend won’t be notified that you followed them.
