Get ready to ditch the manual song searching because Instagram and Spotify have teamed up to make music discovery a breeze. This new integration, rolling out globally since October 17th, lets you seamlessly add songs you encounter on Instagram directly to your Spotify Liked Songs playlist – without ever leaving the Instagram app!
Imagine this: you’re scrolling through Instagram, enjoying a captivating video, and you’re hooked by the music playing in the background. Now, instead of frantically trying to remember the song title or searching through endless music platforms, you can simply tap a small Spotify “Add” button that conveniently appears on the song page. The first time you use this feature, you’ll be prompted to link your Spotify account. Once linked, a quick notification will pop up confirming the song has been added to your Liked Songs playlist. That’s it! You can even jump over to the Spotify app to double-check if you like, but the seamless integration means you can keep scrolling and discovering new tracks.
While adding discovered tracks to a specific Spotify playlist would be a welcomed addition, this integration is a huge step forward for music discovery. The ability to instantly save songs you hear on Instagram to your Spotify library removes the frustration of trying to remember song names and manually searching for them later.
Spotify, already a dominant force in the streaming music world, continues to innovate. With 626 million monthly active users as of July 2024, including a third on the premium tier, Spotify is constantly finding new ways to enhance its platform. Their recent launch of an AI playlist creation tool and the upcoming Spotify Wrapped, which promises to be even more personalized this year, are just a glimpse into the exciting future of music streaming. This partnership with Instagram only reinforces Spotify’s commitment to providing an unparalleled music experience.
