Instagram has rolled out a highly anticipated update: you can now share Spotify songs to your Stories with the sound on. This means when you post a song, it plays directly in the Story, complete with album art, instead of just showing a static link.
Previously, sharing Spotify tracks on Instagram only displayed a thumbnail with no sound, forcing viewers to tap the link to hear the song. With this new update, the song’s audio plays automatically in the Story, making for a more immersive experience.
The feature, which began rolling out in late June 2025, enhances how users interact with music on the platform. Instagram continues to lean into music as a key part of its content strategy, creating a more dynamic way for users to share their musical moments. For brands and creators, this could open up new opportunities for engagement and promotion.
Along with the Spotify update, Instagram has also announced that it will be rolling out new fonts this year and To start, the platform is introducing a limited-time font inspired by singer and songwriter Rosalía’s handwriting. Users can unlock secret symbols hand-drawn by Rosalía when typing in characters such as ” :-) “, ***, and “<3,” Instagram says.
These features let users get more creative with their posts by adding unique, playful text styles and custom symbols to their Stories. Whether you're sharing a track or creating a custom graphic, these tools give you more ways to express your personality and style.
While this update is still making its way to all users, once fully available, it will make music sharing smoother and more engaging, allowing users to integrate soundtracks into their Instagram Stories effortlessly. Whether you’re sharing a song, a moment, or a brand message, the new features make your posts stand out in a way that’s both fun and creative.
