How to Share Apple Music on an Instagram Story

The release of iOS 13.5 (June 2020) came with dozens of useful new features, including the ability to share your favorite Apple Music tracks to your Instagram story. Although this feature won't play audio on Instagram, viewers of your story can tap the song's cover art to hear it in Apple Music. This How.com.vn teaches you how to share which song you're listening to with your Instagram followers on an iPhone or iPad.

Steps

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Open the Music app on your iPhone or iPad.
    It's the white icon with a purple-and-blue music note inside.
    • If you haven't already updated your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS, you'll need to do so to access this feature. See How to Update iOS to get started.
    • This feature is unavailable in the Apple Music app for Android.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Tap the song you want to share on Instagram.
    You can tap the song in an album list, playlist, or anywhere else in the app.
    • If you don't see the screen with the album cover and audio controls, tap the song title at the bottom of the screen to open it now.

    • To move the album cover, drag it with a single finger to another location.
    • To make the album cover larger, place two fingers together on the album cover, then drag them away from each other. To make it smaller, pinch two fingers together on the screen.
