Instagram and Spotify are improving integration to make it easier for users to share music with friends.
Now, when you post a Spotify track to Stories, Instagram will automatically add a short snippet of the song. When people view the story, they can open the track in Spotify.
Additionally, Instagram Notes has a new feature that lets you show your friends what you’re listening to. When creating a note, users select a track via Spotify, and the note automatically updates to reflect the current song or the next one you play within 30 minutes. Friends can tap on the note to add the track to their Spotify playlist.
In the Spotify app itself, integration with Instagram has also become more convenient: when sharing a track, a new Notes icon appears next to other options for publishing on Instagram, allowing you to quickly share music directly via the social network.
The new features have already started rolling out to users around the world on iOS and Android.
