It’s not unusual to discover new songs and artists from apps like these these days, when short-form videos are extremely common. TikTok and Instagram. Now Instagram has started rolling out Spotify integration, which lets you add songs you hear from posts and reels directly to the audio streaming app. 9-5Mac reported. If an Instagram post uses a song and it’s linked at the bottom of the screen, tap the song’s name to go to its audio preview page. There, next to the audio scrubber, you’ll find a new button that says “Add” with the Spotify logo.
When you click that Add button, the song will be added to “Liked Songs” in your Spotify library. The first time you do this, you’ll need to link your Spotify account to your Instagram, but after that it’s a one-touch process. This feature is now rolling out to users worldwide. In August, the mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzi has been found another type of integration between two programs in development. The feature will allow Instagram users to continuously share what they’re listening to on Spotify, appearing as notes above your profile picture.
TikTok has been able to add songs heard from videos since last year to your music streaming library. His version of the feature works not only with Spotify, but also with Apple Music and Amazon Music.
