Instagram integrates Spotify with Notes feature

Instagram just rolled out a handy new feature: you can now share what you're listening to on Spotify, live, right in your Notes section in DMs. As you switch tracks on Spotify, your Note updates automatically. Friends can tap your Note for a quick preview and add the song straight to their own Spotify. The feature works on both iOS and Android.

TL;DR

Steps to share music in Instagram DMs

Just connect your Spotify account to Instagram, then share the song you're playing in the Notes section of DMs. Whatever song you play on Spotify will show up and update in real-time. This works on both iOS and Android.

Instagram vs TikTok

Unlike TikTok, where music sharing is limited to in-app sounds, Instagram's feature keeps up with every track change on Spotify—no extra steps needed. TikTok's "Add to Music App" lets users save songs but doesn't update live like this does.
