With short-form videos becoming extremely common nowadays, it’s not uncommon to discover new songs and artists from apps like TikTok and Instagram. Now, Instagram has rolled out Spotify integration, allowing you to add songs you listen to from posts and Reels directly to the audio streaming app, 9to5Mac reported.
If a song is used in an Instagram post and it’s linked at the bottom of the screen, tap the song’s name to go to its audio preview page. There, you’ll find a new button that says “Add” with the Spotify logo right next to the audio scrubber.
When you tap that Add button, the song will be added to your “Liked songs” in your Spotify library. You’ll need to link your Spotify account to your Instagram the first time you do this, but after that it becomes a one-tap process.
The feature is now rolling out to all users worldwide. In August, mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzi found another kind of integration between the two apps during development.
The feature will allow Instagram users to continuously share what they’re listening to on Spotify, which will appear as notes at the top of your profile picture.
TikTok has had the ability to add songs you listen to from videos to your music streaming library since last year. Its version of the feature works not only with Spotify, but also with Apple Music and Amazon Music.
The iPad mini was refreshed last October with upgraded internals and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. This configuration has 128GB of storage, 8GB of RAM, and Apple’s A17 Pro chip. It’s our pick for the best compact iPad — admittedly it’s the only compact iPad, but we found it to be a great way to play a lot of Balatro. We gave it a score of 83 in our review. Also at Best Buy.
