My Question or Issue

I didn't have any issues with sharing songs to Instagram story untill today, when I press share to story it seems like instagram opens up for awhile and disappears. If I press again I get a popup from my phone saying Instagram keeps stopping. 

I've tried reinstalling Instagram, still having same issue.

My Question or Issue

It started to happen yesterday(12.06.19). Everytime I try to share the musics on Spotify to my IG Story, my Instagram will crash and shows up "Instagram keeps crashing" and I've tried every method trying to fix it myself e.g. restart myphone, clear cache of Spotify and Instagram or reinstall them, but It doesn't work at all. Please response and fix it out as soon as possible.
Update

(12.07.19) - I still can't.

(12.12.19) - stop crashing but swaps to instagram camera mode but black screen

I've been experiencing a similar problem for a few hours now. When i try to share, the screen goes white and takes me back to spotify.

Exact same problem on my S10+ (Android 9), been going on for a few days. I've reinstalled both apps, cleared the data + cache of both, etc.

Hi, I've seen a lot of people post about a similar issue (that they don't have the option to post to instagram stories) but the difference for me is that I did have the option for the past year and it was working fine until today. It was taking me to Instagram stories as usual but the music info/content was missing - the screen was showing blank. I came to the forum to troubleshoot and followed recommended steps...delete both caches, reinstall both apps etc. When I did all of that, the option to share to Instagram Stories completly disappeared!! Only Direct sharing is available. Plus Facebook and other apps. 

 

I saw a generic post about Spotify constantly testing features and them being available to some but not others. But this doesn't explain why a working feature would disappear for a user. 

 

Are you removing this feature once and for all? I really liked it and would like it back please. All my friends are sharing music as usual and now I can't. Is there any way to roll back an App update?

As of yesterday (December 11th) I have been trying to share songs to my Instagram story, but without any luck. Instagram opens the story section, however it is black and blank.

Hi,

 

@Peter 

 

I have the same problem. I've been sharing Spotify songs to Insta stories for months. All of a sudden, today it doesn't work. I can't share any song or playlist, artist etc to Insta. I have the Share to Instagram Stories option. When I select it, it tries to open Inatagram. However, instead of the usual image w song icon, it opens the Instagram Stories in Camera Mode ONLY. There's no way to see or share the song.

 

Country: Canada

Spotify account type: Regular/Free

Spotify version: 8.5.33.831

Instagram version: 122.0.0.29.238

Device: Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM G950W)

Android version 9, One UI 1.0

Date: Dec/12/2019

 

Screenshot shows option to share to Insta stories is available:

Screenshot shows Insta opening in Camera Mode ONLY instead. The camera is black and doesn't actually work to take a photo.
