Word of mouth has always been at the heart of the Spotify experience, with people sharing music, podcasts, and audiobooks with friends and family millions of times each month.
From mood to moment to playlist, your audio deserves to go wherever you go. That's why we've been designing smoother, more integrated ways to bring Spotify into the spaces you already use every day, from stories and status updates to messaging and social feeds.
Below, you'll find eight ways to share your favorite Spotify content so your friends can hear what you're into anytime, anywhere.
1. Share to WhatsApp Status Now, you can share what you're listening to on Spotify-from tracks and playlists to podcasts, albums, artist clips, and audiobooks-directly to your WhatsApp Status. When you share, it shows up as a visual card with the title, cover art, and an Open on Spotify link so your friends and family can tap straight through. And with any songs you share, your friends and family will hear a short audio preview, so they can catch your vibe right away.
This feature has started rolling out globally, and both Free and Premium users will begin seeing it in their Share menus in the coming weeks.
(Of course, you can still drop your favorite Spotify content into WhatsApp chats, too.)
2. Messages on Spotify Our new Messages feature means users 16 and older in select markets can send music, podcasts, and audiobooks directly to friends within the Spotify app. Tap the share icon from the Now Playing view, pick a friend you've connected with before, and send. Once they accept, you can react, chat, and keep sharing all inside Spotify.
Messages will also conveniently keep track of shared favorites and recommendations, making it easier than ever to revisit your latest finds.
3. Turn the sound up on Instagram Stories Ever scrolled through Instagram Stories and wished you could hear what someone was listening to? Now you can. When you share a track to your Instagram Story, a short audio snippet is automatically included so friends can preview the song. Tap the music sticker to open it in Spotify.
4. Real-time song sharing with Instagram Notes With our new Instagram Notes integration, you can share what you're listening to in real time on Notes. It's a seamless way to showcase your newest obsessions or timeless favorites while also keeping up with your friends' finds.
5. TikTok Feed and Stories sharing Share your favorite tunes or latest finds, including tracks, albums, playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks, using TikTok's green screen feature or Photo Mode, complete with visuals and links through to Spotify.
6. Send Spotify content via TikTok DMs Want to share something to one friend or a small group instead of posting to your whole feed? Send Spotify content directly via TikTok Messages. Tap the link, and your friend lands right in Spotify.
7. Snapchat sharing via Story and chat Share a track, album, playlist, daylist, podcast, or audiobook by posting it to your Snapchat Story, or send to your friends in Chat. Viewers will see the artwork or cover with a link they can tap to open the content in Spotify.
With the Share Track Lens AR feature you can also amp up your storytelling by overlaying the song title, artist name, and album cover onto your camera view or surroundings.
8. Facebook: Stories, Feed, and Messenger Add music to your Facebook Story or Feed post and viewers will get a short audio preview. They can easily tap through the visual card to open content in Spotify. On mobile, Messenger direct sharing also lets you send a track or playlist with a preview card that links straight into Spotify.
Soon, you'll also be able to save songs shared through Facebook directly to your Liked Songs on Spotify.
Now try it yourself! From broadcasting your vibe through your Status to slipping a track into a friend's DMs, Spotify now gives you more ways than ever to share the sounds you love. Make sure your Spotify app is up to date, open the Share menu, and explore the possibilities so your soundtrack can travel as freely as your playlists do.
