his Thursday the social media platform TikTok released a new social media update that aims to associate its social media app with the music streaming services
where users can discover and listen to their favorite songs. The new “Share to TikTok” feature lets music fans and users share songs directly from Apple Music and also from Spotify into the social media app. They will also be able to post those songs on the For You feed, on their Stories, or just send them through direct messages with the new TikTok feature. It’s important to know that the shared music and content includes tracks, albums, playlists, and much more, and when is shared it can link back to the music streaming app. This addition to the ByteDance-owned social media platform represents a great opportunity for all TikTok users to interact more with their followers and friends, and also discover new and great songs to add to their playlists.
For the Spotify streaming app , users will have the option to “Share to TikTok” the songs and post them on the TikTok feed or Stories. From Spotify, all users can share music and podcasts to audiobooks by just tapping the “Share” option from the app interface.
