How do I share a Spotify Story with sound on Instagram?

Answered by Robert Flynn

To share a Spotify track with sound on Instagram Stories, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Open the Spotify mobile app on your device. Make sure you are logged in to your Spotify account.

2. Navigate to the song you want to share. You can search for it using the search bar at the top of the app or browse through your playlists, albums, or the charts.

3. Once you’ve found the song, tap on it to open it in full-screen mode. Here, you can see the album cover, song title, and artist name.

4. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll find a row of icons. Look for the “Share” button, which is represented by three dots connected by two lines. Tap on it.

5. A pop-up menu will appear with various sharing options. Scroll down until you find “Instagram Stories” and select it.

6. If you haven’t already, you’ll be prompted to open Instagram. Tap on “Open” to be redirected to the Instagram app.

7. Once in the Instagram app, you’ll see the song cover art as a sticker on your Story. You can resize, reposition, or add additional stickers or text to your Story if you wish.

8. Now, to ensure the sound is included in your Story, make sure the audio icon at the top of the screen is not crossed out. If it is, tap on it to unmute the audio.

9. Customize your Story further by adding captions, hashtags, or other stickers. Once you’re satisfied, tap on the “Your Story” button at the bottom of the screen to share it with your followers.

Sharing a Spotify track on Instagram Stories allows your followers to listen to a 15-second preview of the song. If they are also Spotify users, they can tap on the “Play on Spotify” button at the top of your Story to listen to the full track.

Remember that the availability of this feature may vary depending on your device and the version of the Spotify and Instagram apps you’re using. It’s also worth noting that Instagram Stories are temporary and disappear after 24 hours, unless you choose to highlight them on your profile.

I hope this detailed explanation helps you share your favorite Spotify tracks with sound on Instagram Stories. Enjoy sharing your music discoveries with your followers!
