How to transfer Apple Music playlists to Spotify on your iPhone
There’s a simple iPhone app you can use to transfer all your carefully curated playlists from Apple Music to Spotify. You’re welcome.

Just link your Spotify and Instagram accounts and you’ll be adding new songs in seconds
Spotify / Instagram
To add a song you heard on Instagram to Spotify, navigate to a post with music you like and simply tap the song name at the bottom of the screen.
This will take you to its audio preview page, where you can see the track and view other posts with it. Click the “Add” button that has the Spotify logo next to it. When you tap “Add” for the first time, it will ask you to link your Spotify account to your Instagram account.
When you tap the “Add” button, the song will be added to your liked songs on Spotify.
I tested the feature and it worked flawlessly. This is a nice collaboration to see from Spotify and Instagram.
As an avid Spotify user myself for over a decade, I love seeing features like this that help grow my Spotify library. The feature is especially great for artists, as fans can access their music more easily if they’ve heard it on Instagram now.
Hopefully, more music streaming apps will be added to Instagram in the future, like Apple Music and Amazon Music, which TikTok has.
