A long-awaited feature that improves music sharing on the site, Instagram introduced a new upgrade on Monday that lets users share Spotify songs with audio previews straight on their Stories.
Before, Instagram users could only show their Stories followers the music’s title and cover art, along with a link that took them to the Spotify app, when they shared a Spotify song. A more smooth and interesting experience will result from the new upgrade, which allows users to listen to a brief music preview within Instagram itself.
According to Instagram parent company Meta, the function would decrease friction between users and content by making it simpler to find new music within the app.
