How to add music to your Instagram story

Spotify’s integration with a wide variety of social media apps has made it one of the most beloved music streaming platforms globally. You can share your Spotify playlists or your favorite songs on Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, and more without being a Premium subscriber. Let’s see how to add Spotify music directly to your Instagram story.

Before we get started, know that, currently, it is not possible to share Spotify music to Instagram from your computer. This feature is exclusive to the mobile platform.

It would be best to have Instagram installed on the same Android or iOS device you’re sharing Spotify music from. You need to log into your Instagram account before you can share music from Spotify.

How to share Spotify music on Instagram

• In the Spotify app, find the song you would like to share and full-screen it.
• Press the share button in the bottom right.
• From the share menu, select Instagram Stories. This will open the Instagram mobile app.
• In the Instagram Story, choose your preferred sharing option at the bottom of the screen. You can either share it to your public stories or share it exclusively with your Close Friends list.

How to add music to your Instagram story

• When finished, tap Done.
• Choose your preferred sharing option. In this case, tap Your Story to share it on public.
