Reverse engineer Chris Messina first discovered the code references, positing that an emergency alerts system would push Spotify users to enable alerts. Spotify later confirmed to TechCrunch that it is working on such a system, but provided no explanation on why it is delving into the world of emergency alerts. There is no Swedish law requiring the app to have such a capability, with Spotify telling TechCrunch that it is "exploring whether or not the app could support something like an emergency alerts system."
