SoundCloud Gets More Social By Adding A Way To See The Songs Your Friends Like
SoundCloud gets more social by adding a way to see the songs your friends like — marking a major step in turning the music platform into a true social experience. The update introduces new community-driven features that make discovering music more personal, interactive, and fun.

On Thursday, SoundCloud announced several social upgrades, including playlists based on the songs your friends or favorite artists like, a daily list of friend favorites, and suggested follows to help users build their music community. These updates aim to strengthen social interaction on SoundCloud as it continues to challenge streaming leaders like Spotify.
Competing With Spotify’s Social Push
SoundCloud’s latest move mirrors what Spotify has been doing recently. Spotify introduced a direct messaging feature that lets users share songs and playlists instantly with friends. Now, SoundCloud is matching that energy by encouraging users to discover music through their social circles rather than just algorithms.
The result? A more human, community-based experience that focuses on what people actually enjoy listening to — not just what’s trending globally.
Discover What Your Friends And Artists Are Loving
Two of the most talked-about features in this update are “Liked by your crew” and “Liked by playlists.”
“Liked by your crew” automatically updates every day, showing a curated list of tracks your friends and favorite artists are enjoying. It appears right on your homepage, offering a quick peek into what’s buzzing among the people you follow.
Meanwhile, “Liked by playlists” displays a scrollable carousel of playlists curated from your friends’ and artists’ likes. This makes it easier than ever to explore new songs and artists through trusted recommendations — not just random algorithmic suggestions.
Trending Trackwall: Find What’s Hot Instantly
SoundCloud also rolled out a new Trending Trackwall, a feature that showcases the most popular songs trending across the platform. With built-in filters, users can now personalize their experience and easily discover the music that matters to them — no need to scroll endlessly through unrelated playlists.
This addition strengthens SoundCloud’s identity as both a streaming and discovery platform, helping listeners stay connected with what’s new and what’s next.
Available Across All Platforms
All these social updates — including “Liked by your crew,” “Liked by playlists,” and Trending Trackwall — are now live on the web, iOS, and Android.
With this rollout, SoundCloud is evolving beyond just a place to upload and stream music. It’s becoming a digital music community — one where friends inspire each other and discovery feels more authentic than ever.
By making music discovery more personal, SoundCloud gets more social by adding a way to see the songs your friends like, a move that aligns perfectly with today’s social media-driven world. Whether you’re hunting for your next favorite track or curious about what your friends are vibing to, SoundCloud’s new social features promise a richer, more connected listening experience.
