You Can Now Share Music From Spotify on Facebook Stories

Spotify on Friday announced that users will now be able to share their music with friends, followers and fans on Facebook Stories, more than a year after a similar feature was rolled out on Instagram. As part of the plan, users will now be able to hear a 15-second preview of any song shared on the platform before tapping on the ‘Play on Spotify’ button to stream the full song.

Aimed largely at musicians, the new feature will offer artistes “a more powerful way to connect with fans”, said Spotify. According to the company, the integration will make it easier for creators to promote their tracks, albums, playlists, podcasts and more. “Taking advantage of our sharing features helps to get your tunes to more people’s ears. It will also encourage your fans to interact with you and your music and help spread the love through their own Facebook Stories”, said the company.

Users can share a song from Spotify to Facebook by taping on the ‘Share’ option on the music streaming app and selecting ‘Facebook’ from the resultant menu. “Now, when viewers watch your Story, they’ll be able to listen to a 15-second preview of it — instantly — and they can tap ‘Play on Spotify’ if they want to hear more”, said the company on its official blog post.

As mentioned earlier already, the ability to share Spotify music was first rolled out on Instagram Stories last year after Facebook opened up both its major social media services to allow sharing of news, songs and videos from third-party apps. While Spotify back then had promised to roll it out to Facebook Stories in the following months, it has taken more than a year for that to finally happen.

iPhone 12 to Have 5nm Processor, Qualcomm’s X55 5G Modem: Report

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...
