New Delhi: Spotify has started rolling out its latest ways for music streaming users to share their favourite songs, playlists, and podcasts across multiple social platforms, starting with the deeper integration into WhatsApp. According to Spotify, Android users can now post tracks, playlists, or even podcasts as a visual card with the title and cover art on their WhatsApp Status. The feature is gradually rolling out worldwide and will be available to both free and premium users in the coming weeks. Spotify now lets Android users share their favourite songs and playlists directly through WhatsApp Status. The latest feature allows users to post what they are listening to, whether it is a track, album, playlist, podcast or audiobook, as a visual card showing the title, cover art, and an Open on Spotify button.
Viewers of the status can tap to listen or even hear a short preview before deciding to open the whole track on Spotify. Spotify has also mentioned other ways to share their music, podcasts, and audiobooks with friends. Users can now send tracks directly within the Spotify application as messages. The platform has improved its Instagram integration, enabling people to listen to short audio snippets before opening the whole track. Instagram users can now also share what they are listening to on Spotify in real-time through Notes.
The company is expanding similar features to other platforms, too. Spotify is partnering with TikTok to let users share songs, podcasts, and audiobooks within the short-video application. A similar sharing option is also available in Snapchat, where users can post Spotify clips to their Stories or send them directly through chats.
