Spotify May Soon Recommend Music Based on Photos You Take

"Take a photo and enjoy music matching your moment and mood, picked but for you", describes Spotify. The characteristic was spotted by app reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong. Take a look at the tweet beneath.

As usual, features involving the employ of the camera will be questioned by privacy enthusiasts. To avoid this state of affairs, Spotify has added a bulletin stating that the photos will not be saved into their servers. "Nosotros will only use the photo to recommend you music. We will not save or use the photo afterwards."

Meanwhile, yous may be able to avoid granting camera permissions since it has a "Select from Photos" to cull an image from your gallery. This way, you can capture an image from your default camera and use the button to get mood-based recommendations, assuming that the feature works as intended.

Some potential utilize-cases of this feature would be at parties or gyms. For instance, the feature might be able to recognize alcohol bottles to start recommending some groovy trip the light fantastic party songs or gym equipment to shower you with upbeat tracks to continue y'all motivated throughout your conditioning sessions (or maybe I'm just giving abroad promo ideas).

For now, there's no guarantee if this feature would ever exist implemented in Spotify in the almost future. We will be updating yous if or when it happens and hence, stay tuned.
