Add Song From Spotify to Instagram Stories Open the Spotify app. Rev up a song you want to share through an Instagram story. Tap the ellipses icon and choose the Share option. Among the share. Instagram Stories have changed the way we use Instagram, turning the platform into something more than your everyday online photo album. Initially released as a thinly-veiled attempt to mimic the popular Snapchat feature, now, Instagram is upping the ante for stories with the recent launch of product stickers.

In exchange for a lowered “promotional recording royalty rate.”

Update: Monday, November 2, 2020, 3:15 pm EST: The original version of this article suggested the new feature would apply to the algorithm that determines Spotify's Discover Weekly playlist. It has since been amended to clarify that the feature will only apply to the algorithm that determines radio and autoplay — though Spotify says it may expand to 'other personalized areas' of the app.

Spotify has announced a new feature for artists and labels seeking to increase exposure. In a press release issued November 2, the digital streaming platform unveiled a new function that will allow creators at all levels to boost their visibility through Spotify's algorithmic music selector that the app defaults to on the radio and autoplay functions.

'In this new experiment, artists and labels can identify music that’s a priority for them, and our system will add that signal to the algorithm that determines personalized listening sessions,' the statement reads. 'This allows our algorithms to account for what’s important to the artist.'

While Spotify notes that the feature won't require any immediate upfront costs, it will only be available in exchange for lowered royalty payments: 'Labels or rights holders agree to be paid a promotional recording royalty rate for streams in personalized listening sessions where we provided this service.' Furthermore, the press release adds that accepting these new terms 'won’t guarantee placement to labels or artists.'

Just last week, over 4,000 independent artists in the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers presented a new campaign demanding that Spotify pay at least one cent per stream, among other requests for a more equitable streaming environment. 'Music workers create all of the enormous wealth Spotify accumulates for its CEO, its investors, and the major labels,' the Union wrote in an open letter. 'But we artists continue to be underpaid, misled, and otherwise exploited by the company.'

Change is happening! Instagram Stories just got even cooler. So many of us take to the platform to share our love for music and spread good jams. (Not me. I mostly stick to pictures of my dogs.) Now Instagram and Spotify are teaming up. Starting today, you'll be able to share to Instagram directly from your Spotify account, effectively cutting out the middleman and letting you take your tunes to IG in one fell swoop. But what if you're one of the few wondering, 'Why can't I share Spotify songs on Instagram Stories?' as the rest of the world jams out? Don't panic — there are a couple logical explanations for why you're not seeing the new feature, one of which is easily fixed in a matter of minutes.

The first thing you can do is check to make sure you have the most updated versions of both apps. If you don't, this could explain why you're not yet able to see the new feature. In general, almost all newly added features and improvements to apps require you to download and install the latest version. Luckily, this is a quick fix. Just head to your app store and make sure your versions are current. Even if the apps aren't showing up in the Updates tab, be extra cautious and search the app in your store, to confirm it doesn't have any updates.

A second explanation is you just don't have the update yet, plain and simple. Sometimes, when apps roll out new features, it happens gradually, meaning everyone doesn't get it all at once. They might do it by region, for instance. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to several weeks. While we don't know for sure how this update is going to work, rest assured you will have access to it at some point in the near future, as it's going to be available to all users.

This new feature is going to be a dream come true to music-loving Instagrammers. When you share, Spotify unlocks custom cover art stickers reflecting your favorite songs, artists, and albums, still allowing the option for personalization and creativity Instagram is so good at. Plus, when your followers view your Story, they'll be able to tap the Spotify icon in the top left corner to learn more about it for themselves.

Is The Spotify App Free

Plus, the feature will also be coming to Facebook Stories as well, giving you one more opportunity to share the music and artists you love with the people you care about. My IG and Facebook friends are going to be so thrilled to know that when I'm pretending to rap along with Kanye West, I'm actually listening to Disney classics. Just @ me all you want.

Music To Instagram Story Need Spotify Apps

Instagram Stories is the place to be right now. Even people who hate Instagram Stories love Instagram Stories. IG keeps creating more opportunities for us to stay connected in new ways and make our IG pages unique to us as individuals. With new filters rotating through, new ways to post (like Type Mode), and even new cameras (like Instagram Focus, which totes makes my pics looks professional even though I can't take a selfie to save my life), there's something for everyone. Plus, IG recently updated the app to allow you to upload multiple photos and videos to your Story at once, instead of one at a time — a rather slow and slightly irritating process.

With all the features available and how user-friendly the whole platform is, even social media losers like me can share super engaging photos of my falafel pita and the stress hives I had yesterday after making a student loan payment. So much fun!
