Spotify adds song and podcast previews to WhatsApp Status updates

Spotify users can now share songs, albums, and podcasts directly to their WhatsApp Status with built-in previews, creating a more interactive way to showcase what they’re listening to. The update integrates Spotify’s sharing feature with WhatsApp’s latest API tools, allowing users to post a 30-second clip and artwork preview instead of just a link.

The feature is available on both Android and iOS devices and works with Spotify’s latest app version. Once shared, friends can tap the preview to open the track or podcast in Spotify instantly.

The integration builds on Spotify’s broader effort to expand social discovery and music sharing beyond its own app. With WhatsApp’s massive global user base, the feature could significantly increase how people discover new tracks through casual daily updates.

For listeners, it’s a small but smart improvement that turns music sharing into a richer, more personal experience.
