What Changed?

Before this update, sharing a Spotify song on Instagram was pretty basic. You’d get the album cover, maybe some text, and a link that people generally ignore. It was like trying to recommend a restaurant by showing someone a picture of a building — well, not very convincing.

So what’s after the update? Now, sharing the song on your Instagram story has gone to the next level. When you share a song on your Instagram story, it will play a preview of the track. Your friends can hear the beat, the vocals, the energy — everything that makes you love that song.

But the question is, how do you share the Spotify song?

Go to your Spotify account and find the song, album, or podcast that you want to share. Go to the Now Playing screen, where you can see all the track details.
Find the share button right at the bottom of your screen. Tap it to see the sharing options.
Select Stories from the share menu. You’ll also see options to customize how the album art looks and pick a style that fits you well.
Spotify will now open your Instagram and set up your story, and it will create an audio preview that plays when someone clicks on it.
Now tap on “Your Story” and you are done. Your followers will see and hear what you are listening to.

The Spotify integration is not just about stories — Instagram now lets you share what you’re currently playing as Instagram Notes, the little status update that appears at the top of your DMs.

It will automatically update to show the song that is playing on your Spotify account. It is like having a live soundtrack to your day that even your friends and family can see.

You need to connect your Spotify account to Instagram first. Once it is linked, your music becomes part of your social presence.

The Bigger Picture

This collaboration between Instagram and Spotify shows how social media and streaming services are working together instead of competing with each other. Users win when platforms work smoothly.

Instagram has turned music sharing from a boring afterthought into an engaging social experience. Your Instagram is definitely going to be more interesting.
