How to Share Spotify Music in Instagram Notes (2025 Update)

In 2025, Instagram and Spotify have made it easier than ever to share your favorite music with your friends—right from Instagram Notes. Whether you’re vibing to a new track or revisiting a classic, this guide will show you how to share Spotify music in Instagram Notes, step-by-step.

Let’s dive in!


What Are Instagram Notes?

Instagram Notes are short text or emoji updates (up to 60 characters) that appear at the top of your direct messages tab. As of the 2025 update, Instagram has expanded their Notes functionality, allowing Spotify song previews to be shared directly within Notes.

These Notes last 24 hours and are a fun, low-key way to share thoughts, moods, or now—music from Spotify.


How to Share Spotify Music in Instagram Notes (2025)

Here’s the quick and easy way to do it:

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Open Spotify and play the song you want to share.
  2. Tap the Share icon (three dots > Share).
  3. Select Instagram from the share options.
  4. Choose “Share to Instagram Notes” (new in the 2025 update).
  5. A preview of the song (title + artist + album art) will appear in your Note draft.
  6. Tap Share.

Your friends will now see your Note with a clickable preview of the song. When they tap it, they’ll be redirected to listen on Spotify.


Example: What It Looks Like

Let’s say you’re listening to “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims on Spotify. After sharing it to Instagram Notes, your Note might look like this:

Listening to Lose Control – Teddy Swims
Tap to hear it on Spotify

And your friends can click directly on the Note to open the track in the Spotify app.


Can You Share Podcasts Too?

Yes! As of 2025, Spotify Podcasts can also be shared via Instagram Notes. The process is exactly the same. This is perfect for recommending episodes or thought-provoking content to your followers in a subtle, non-intrusive way.


Why Use Instagram Notes to Share Music?

  • Low-key and non-intrusive: Unlike Stories, Notes don’t interrupt the feed.
  • Direct engagement: Only close friends and followers you DM will see it.
  • Increased curiosity: Friends may ask you about the song—starting a conversation.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you don’t see the option to “Share to Instagram Notes,” try these steps:

  • Update both apps (Spotify and Instagram) from your app store.
  • Log out and log back in to Instagram.
  • Clear app cache or reinstall the apps.

Still having issues? Instagram may be rolling out the feature gradually, so keep an eye out for updates.


Final Thoughts

Sharing music in Instagram Notes is a fresh, subtle way to express your mood or recommend your current favorite tracks. With the 2025 update, Spotify and Instagram integration has never been smoother.

So next time you find a song that speaks to you—don’t just vibe to it, share it!
