Instagram is now introducing a new feature that allows users to set the currently playing Spotify song as Notes. By linking a Spotify account to Notes, Instagram can now identify the song being played and allow users to automatically add it to Notes.
When your contacts or followers tap on the song, they will be taken directly to the song's page on Spotify. Before that, several notifications will be displayed to obtain consent to link the accounts. After permission is granted, they will be taken to the Spotify page to play the song and add it to a playlist so that they can listen to it anytime.
This feature provides a smoother experience than regular song sharing in Notes because users don't have to manually search for the song from the list. It is also more interesting than sharing Spotify songs in Stories because it allows previews of songs instead of just displaying album art. In addition, the more music options make it more suitable for various user tastes.
For those who may not be comfortable sharing the music genres they listen to, don't worry because you can still cancel the link between Instagram and Spotify. Go to Profile > Menu (three lines) > Your Apps & Media > Spotify > Unlink. After that, your Spotify account will no longer be connected to Instagram.
