Spotify brings audio previews to Instagram Stories and real-time sharing via Instagram Notes
Spotify has rolled out two new integrations with Instagram that make sharing music more interactive and instantaneous. The updates are available globally on iOS and Android.
What’s new
- Stories audio previews: When you share a Spotify track to an Instagram Story, a short audio snippet will play in the Story and viewers can tap the music sticker to open the full track in Spotify.
- Instagram Notes integration: You can add a live-updating track to an Instagram Note by tapping the music note icon and choosing “Share from Spotify.” The note will display the song you’re currently listening to (or the next song you play within 30 minutes); friends can tap the note to add the track to their Spotify Likes.
- From Spotify to Instagram Notes: Sharing from the Spotify app now shows a Notes icon alongside other Instagram share options for quick posting.
How to use
- To share a track to Instagram Stories: tap the Share button in Spotify, choose Instagram Stories, then post. The Story will include a short audio preview and a tappable music sticker that opens the track in Spotify.
- To share to Instagram Notes: in Instagram, create a Note, tap the music note icon, select “Share from Spotify” in the audio browser. The Note will auto-update to your current song (or next song within 30 minutes).
These features are designed to make discovering and saving songs between the two apps faster and more social.
