Exciting news for music lovers and social media enthusiasts alike: Meta and Spotify are reportedly teaming up to introduce a new feature that could revolutionize how we share our music tastes. According to a recent report, the two giants are working on a feature that would let users continuously showcase their Spotify listening activity on Instagram's Notes.

This potential integration builds on a feature that was rolled out last year, allowing users to share 30-second song clips on their Notes. The new update, first uncovered by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, could take this a step further by letting users stream their Spotify activity directly to Instagram. Paluzzi shared a screenshot hinting at this feature, which includes options for continuous sharing and the ability to stop at any time.

While there’s no official confirmation yet, this collaboration highlights Meta and Spotify's ongoing efforts to innovate in the music and social media spaces. Meta has been actively exploring music-related features, including an AI music generator and a recent addition of a music component to Instagram profiles. Spotify, on the other hand, is testing new functionalities such as AI-generated playlists and community features that allow users to see real-time listening activities.

The close partnership between Meta and Spotify isn't new. Instagram's app has recently added a "SpotifyiOS.framework" and introduced features like adding music to profiles. These moves suggest that Instagram may be gearing up to enhance its music-sharing capabilities to compete more effectively with TikTok’s music discovery features.
