To know if someone is listening with you on Spotify, look for the 'Friend Activity' feature on the desktop app. If someone is actively listening to music with you through a collaborative playlist or a joint listening session, their name should appear with a small soundwave icon next to their profile in this section. However, Spotify doesn’t directly notify you when someone starts listening; you'll need to check the 'Friend Activity' or explore any third-party apps that notify about joint listening sessions.
