Instagram has announced new integration options with Spotify, aimed at making music sharing more seamless for its nearly 700 million users worldwide. The latest updates introduce two main features that simplify sharing music directly from Spotify to Instagram Stories and Notes.

When users share a Spotify track to their Stories, a short preview of the song will now appear, allowing viewers to listen to a snippet directly within the story. Additionally, viewers can effortlessly open the full track in Spotify by tapping the music sticker on the story, creating a more interactive experience for music enthusiasts.

In parallel, Instagram Notes—a feature allowing quick status updates—now supports displaying what users are currently listening to. By tapping the music note icon while creating a note, users can select “Share from Spotify” in the audio browser. The note will automatically update to show the song being played at that moment or the next track if no music is currently playing, within a 30-minute window. Friends viewing the note can tap on it to add the track directly to their Spotify likes.

The integration also enhances Spotify’s app experience; when sharing a currently playing song from Spotify, users will see a new Notes icon next to other sharing options, facilitating easy cross-platform sharing.

These features are now available globally on both iOS and Android devices, providing users with a more connected and interactive way to share their musical moments across social media platforms. For more details, you can visit official support pages on Spotify and Instagram.
