Spotify has added a new feature that makes sharing music easier than ever for Android users. You can now share your favorite songs, playlists, or podcasts directly on your WhatsApp Status — complete with an audio preview and album art.
Let’s see how it works and what else Spotify has introduced.
What Is Spotify’s WhatsApp Status Sharing Feature?
Spotify’s new feature lets Android users post music or media to WhatsApp Status for 24 hours.
Just like Instagram Stories or Facebook Stories, your shared song appears with:
- The title and cover art of the track
- An “Open on Spotify” button
- A short audio preview
Anyone who views your status can tap to listen directly in the Spotify app.
How to Share Spotify Music on WhatsApp Status (Step-by-Step)
Sharing a song or podcast is simple. Follow these steps:
- Open the Spotify app on your Android phone.
- Play or open the song, playlist, or podcast you want to share.
- Tap the Share icon next to it.
- Select WhatsApp from the list.
- Post it directly to your WhatsApp Status.
Your friends will see the artwork and can listen to a short preview before opening it on Spotify.
Who Can Use This New Spotify Feature?
This feature is rolling out globally for both Free and Premium Spotify users on Android.
Spotify said users will start seeing the new WhatsApp option in their share menus over the next few weeks.
What Other Sharing Options Does Spotify Offer?
Spotify isn’t stopping at WhatsApp. The company also added seven new ways to share music and audio with friends.
Here’s what’s new:
- Instagram: Share music with a short audio preview so friends can instantly listen before opening the song.
- Instagram Notes: Show what you’re listening to in real time and connect through shared music moments.
- TikTok: Share songs, podcasts, and audiobooks directly from Spotify to your TikTok feed.
- Snapchat: Post Spotify audio clips on your Snapchat Stories or send them directly to friends via DM.
- Spotify App (Direct Message): Send tracks, playlists, or podcasts straight to friends without leaving the app.
- Facebook: Continue sharing your favorite Spotify tracks in Facebook posts or stories.
- WhatsApp: Share songs and podcasts with a playable audio preview directly on your WhatsApp Status.
These updates make it easier to share music across your favorite apps without needing screenshots or extra links.
Why Did Spotify Add This Feature?
Spotify wants to make music discovery and sharing more social.
By connecting Spotify with WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat, users can easily show what they’re listening to and discover new tracks through their friends’ statuses or stories.
This move also keeps users engaged within the Spotify ecosystem while making it fun to share songs and podcasts with a single tap.
When Will You Get the New Feature?
Spotify confirmed that the WhatsApp Status sharing feature will begin rolling out this week and will be available to all Android users globally soon.
If you don’t see the option yet, update your Spotify app and check again in a few days.
What’s Next for Spotify Sharing Features?
Spotify is likely to bring the same music-sharing options to iPhone users in upcoming updates. The company continues expanding social sharing to reach audiences across every major app.
