Share What You’re Listening to on Spotify with Snapchat

September 9, 2019

With Spotify, you can listen to your favorite music and podcasts anytime, anywhere. With Snapchat, you can share what you’re up to instantaneously. Soon you’ll be able to combine the two seamlessly and share what you’re listening to in a Snap [story].  

As part of a new integration, all Spotify users who have the Snapchat app installed will be able to share your favorite tracks, playlists, albums, and podcasts right to Snapchat for sharing with friends directly or posting to your Story. Here’s how: 

  1. Tap the “share” menu (three dots on the right of the screen) while you’re listening to any song, album, artist, or podcast.
  2. Select “Snapchat” from the dropdown list.
  3. Snapchat will open a new Snap with the full album art included.
  4. Edit and send—whether to a few people or to your Story!

If a friend sends you a Snap with a song, playlist, artist profile, or podcast rec included, you can start streaming with a few quick steps:

  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
  2. Tap the context card with song, artist, playlist, or podcast info.
  3. Spotify will open and play away! (If you don’t have the Spotify app yet, download it for free here.)

With this new way of sharing, it’s quicker and easier for friends to share what they’re listening to — and for others to start listening.

Look out for the integration, rolling out soon across iOS and Android devices.

Share The Song or Podcast You’re Listening To on Instagram

May 1, 2018

Say goodbye to tedious screenshot uploads and say hello to a fast and elegant new way to share what you’re listening to — and allow friends to listen too. Thanks to Spotify’s new integration with Instagram and Facebook, it’s now easier to share what you’re listening to at any point in the day.

Through Spotify’s new share to Instagram Stories feature, you can now easily post whatever you’re listening to on Spotify to your Instagram Story or to friends via Instagram Direct. When listening to a song or podcast on Spotify, simply tap Instagram Stories from the “share” menu, and the app will unlock custom cover art stickers for every song, album, playlist, podcast, or artist on Spotify. Use Instagram’s editing tools to beautify your pic with fun stickers and captions, before sharing with friends. It’s easy to use—and you don’t even have to connect your accounts between apps.

When your friends check out your Story, they’ll be able to tap a “Play on Spotify” button in the top left corner to listen to the music in the Spotify app or sign-up right away. It adds a whole new level to music and podcast discovery since friends will be able to get a glimpse of what you’ve been listening to—and you can do the same with them.

Look out for the Instagram Stories option in the “share” menu on the Spotify mobile app, now available globally on iOS and Android, and start listening, sharing and connecting.
