Song sharing on Instagram
Spotify’s presence can be seen across Instagram. The social media platform allows users to add background music to their stories, posts, and reels using Spotify. Previously, you could share a song independently on your story, but only as a link. This meant that people viewing your story could not listen to a snippet of the song. Instagram has changed this by rolling out the new song-sharing feature.
If you want to share a standalone song on the platform, you have other options too. You can add a song to your profile and curate a unique experience while users glance through your posts. The ‘Notes’ feature in DMs lets you share your favourite song snippets with your followers. You can also choose to share your live music-listening activity on Notes. This requires linking your Spotify account to Instagram. When you move to a new song on Spotify, the change is reflected in IG notes.
