Instagram has announce a new feature that makes sharing songs with others on the platform a more intuitive experience. You can share tracks on their Instagram Stories and they will now appear with a preview of the song.
As users can previously share tracks too, only the album cover and a link appeare, without any audio playback.
This builds upon the recent rollout of another feature which allows sharing tracks from Spotify directly as Instagram Notes.
You can share songs on Instagram Stories and they will appear with a preview of the song along with a link to the streaming platform.
As of now only the link and album cover art was post without any audio.
Follow These Steps :
- Open Spotify and search for the album, podcast, or song you want to share on your Instagram story
- When the ‘Now Playing’ screen appears, tap on the share icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen
- Select Stories from the share window.
- You can also customise how the album art will appear from the given options
- Spotify will automatically open Instagram and provide a preview of the track.
- It will also play an audio preview of the track
- Now tap on Your story to share the track along with the audio preview as your Instagram story
This builds upon the recent collaboration between the Meta-own company and the Swedish audio streaming platform.
As part of this move, Instagram has also release a new update for its mobile app which allows users to share the tracks they’re currently listening to on Spotify as Instagram Notes.
Instagram says notes will be update in real-time to reflect the track currently playing on the user’s Spotify account.
This feature requires the user to link their Spotify account to Instagram.
It will show up in the notes for a period of 24 hours or up to 30 minutes after music playback is stop.
