How to share song clips with friends on Instagram using iPhone

Are you tired of convincing your friends to listen to a song stuck in your head? Instagram’s new feature, Play, pause, and re-play, is what you should try. This feature allows you to share a 30-second preview of any song from Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music in your Instagram chats.

While you could already share songs you listen to on your Instagram stories, it was just a preview with a link on top. This changes now, and here’s how you can share a 30-second preview of songs with your friends on Instagram using your iPhone.

Note: The feature is still rolling out for Spotify and Amazon Music. So, if this isn’t working for you, wait for some time.

The “Play, pause, and re-play” feature is available for Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. While all the apps have a similar process, we’ve used Apple Music as it blends well with the ecosystem and supports Lossless Audio. Here’s a step-by-step guide,

Open Apple Music.
Select the song you want to share.
Tap the three dots (…).
Select “Share Song…”.
Next, tap Copy.
Open Instagram and navigate to the chat you want to share the song.
Long-press the Message… section and paste the link.
Send the link and done!

You now have shared the preview of the song on your Instagram chats.
