Previously, linking content on TikTok wasn’t as easy

Spotify

To use the new feature, simply navigate to the content you want to share on Spotify or Apple Music, tap share, and select TikTok. You will then be able to create a direct link to the content you selected and include it as either a video, photo, or story post on TikTok.

Before this update, if a user wanted to share a playlist they made on Spotify, they would’ve had to put the link in the captions of the video, send it via a direct message, or put it in the comments of the post. Even if it was posted in the comments, it wasn’t clickable because TikTok doesn’t make navigating outside its app easy, users would have to copy and paste it manually, which while doable, was annoying.

This isn’t the first time TikTok has made it easier to find music on its platform. Last year, TikTok made it so you could add music you found in a post directly to your Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon account without having to leave the app. Spotify recently added a feature that lets users add music they heard on a post or reel directly to their Spotify library within the app.
