Instagram has just rolled out a cool new feature where you can now share Spotify songs in your Stories with sound. Earlier, when you shared a Spotify track to Instagram, it only showed the album cover and a link. But now, your followers can listen to a short preview of the song right inside the Instagram app, without switching to Spotify.

How to Share Spotify Songs with Audio in Stories?

This update makes it easier and more fun to share music, albums, or podcasts you’re listening to. A short audio snippet will play directly in the Story, making it more engaging for your followers and helping people discover new music easily.

Here’s how to do it –

• Open the Spotify app on your phone.
• Find the song, album, or podcast you want to share.
• Tap the Share icon on the Now Playing screen.
