TikTok is the perfect social network for songs to go viral. Musical artists always look for small fragments of their songs to become a trend on the short video platform. Now, Internet users will be able to share audio directly from Apple Music and Spotify in their publications and direct messages thanks to an agreement.
We normally listen to songs from streaming music platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify. However, we know many of the songs that we save in favorites thanks to having heard them before on a TikTok trend. These digital services feed each other and, to make it easier to turn a topic into something viral, the new sharing option on the Chinese social network is an interesting strategy.
Until now, Spotify songs could be shared on Instagram Stories. However, there was no possibility to do so on TikTok and that is starting to change. Some users are beginning to receive an update that allows them to transfer a melody from the Swedish platform or Apple Music to the social network in two different ways:
- Through the TikTok Feed (with fixed posts or Stories from the social network). Users will be able to share tracks, entire albums or playlists they have created.
- Through private conversations, with a direct message. Internet users will be able to send their favorite content only to their friends.
With the aim that users can access the entire song through TikTok, the function has a direct link to the original source on Apple Music or Spotify. In this way, we can listen to the musical themes that we find interesting in their entirety and discover new music.
The tool that allows you to share music on TikTok is one more way to discover great songs. With this function, the Asian social network demonstrates its commitment to promoting artists, something that is a great success.
How to share music from Apple Music or Spotify on TikTok?
The process to add a song from Apple Music and Spotify to TikTok is very simple. It doesn’t have a great mystery. If you usually use these music streaming platforms, you may know that there is a share button on both. We will only have to click there and look for the TikTok option to use it in a video or send it privately to another user.
In Apple Music, the sharing option appears when you tap the three dots in horizontal order in the upper right corner when you listen to a song. Meanwhile, Spotify has it at the bottom, a little higher than the pause or resume music button.
When you use this new TikTok feature, the single cover will appear right behind your image. As if it were a background set with chroma key and the music will play while you record yourself. Although it can also be uploaded as a photo with the melody in the background. Later, when you publish the video on the social network, you will see that the name of the artist and the song appears below, as is usual with any audio. However, there is a novelty that stands out and that is that right on the left you will see an icon to add the song to your list on Spotify or Apple Music.
This new TikTok feature helps users discover more music and also helps musical artists continue to grow and reach more people.
