Spotify's new update now allows users to share specific part of podcasts
Swedish audio streaming platform Spotify recently
announced that it is making it easier for users to share their favourite track
or podcast episode with friends through social media.
According to Mashable, the new updates in social sharing have been
rolled out globally by Spotify for both iOS
and Android users.
The company announced the details of the new features on its blog
post where it stated, "We're constantly evolving the Spotify experience to
meet listener needs and working to provide the best possible audio experience
for listeners around the world. These three updates make sharing music and
podcasts easier than ever."
The first feature to be added is Podcast Timestamp that will let
users share podcast episodes beginning at any particular moment that they want
their friends to listen to. This way the user's friends won't have to listen to
the whole podcast episode.
Using this feature is super easy, all that needs to be done is tap
the "share" button while listening to the episode, then use the
"switch to share" feature at the current playtime.
Another update is that Spotify's Canvas feature turns static song
pages into video-art showcases. This helps ramp up the overall music listening
experience. Moreover, users can also share their favourite tracks with Canvas
via Snapchat now in addition to Instagram.
Lastly, Spotify has also come out with an updated sharing menu on
mobile with a clearer layout. It offers a clear preview to users around what
they're sharing along with an improved destination list.
As per Mashable, Spotify said this will help users better visualise
how the canvas will be presented on their social media profiles.
