Spotify has launched a new feature for Android users that turns music sharing into a more social and interactive experience. The music streaming platform now allows users to share not only songs, playlists, podcasts, and albums, but also audiobooks directly to their WhatsApp Status.
Each shared post stays live for 24 hours and includes a short audio preview, allowing friends to sample what someone is listening to before opening the full track. The feature works similarly to Spotify’s existing integrations with Instagram and Facebook, giving users more ways to share and connect through their favourite content.
According to Spotify, the global rollout of this feature has already begun for both free and Premium users, and it will continue expanding to all Android users over the coming weeks.
How to share Spotify songs on WhatsApp
To share Spotify content to WhatsApp Status, users can follow these simple steps:
- Open the Spotify app on an Android device.
- Select the Share option next to a song, playlist, podcast, or album.
- Choose WhatsApp from the sharing options.
- Spotify will automatically generate a WhatsApp Status preview showing the track’s name, artwork, and an “Open on Spotify” link.
Once shared, friends can view the status, listen to a brief preview, and open the full track directly on Spotify.
With this update, Spotify enhances its vision of making listening a social experience, turning private moments into stories worth sharing.
More ways to share with Spotify
Alongside the WhatsApp integration, Spotify has also introduced new updates to make content sharing smoother and more dynamic. Users can now send songs and podcasts directly within the Spotify app, simplifying how recommendations are shared with friends.
The Instagram sharing experience has also been improved. Listeners can now preview short audio clips before opening the full track. Spotify plans to extend similar experiences to TikTok and Snapchat, enabling users to share clips or music directly to Stories and messages.
Through these updates, Spotify is evolving beyond being just a music streaming platform. It is creating a broader social ecosystem that connects listeners through music, discovery, and shared experiences across platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok.
