Shazam integrates with Instagram

Instagram users will now be able to share the music they discover through Shazam in a much simpler way, as the platform has announced a new integration with the social network owned by Facebook. From now on, with just a touch, the songs recorded in the music service can be sent to the Stories, the vertical of more ephemeral content that is growing in Instagram.To this feature is added the recently released possibility of adding music to the stories in a native way, a quality introduced by Instagram and that adds an extra of interest to the viewer. However, the new integration with Shazam is not focused on adding sound, because only the cover is shared, without the song playing in the background.Not for everyoneAlthough Shazam is a global application and extended in both iOS and Android, at the moment will be the first to enjoy the new service exclusively. No wonder this is so if we consider that Apple has acquired the platform recently, it being natural that you want to get certain privileges from it. Android users will be able to access this new feature later, official sources have confirmed.It is not the first time we see a similar feature of integration with the Instagram stories, because Spotify and SoundCloud, for example, already have the quality of sharing the song that is being heard directly. In both cases, all you have to do is click on the button to share and select the option for Instagram Stories.
