My Question or Issue

Hey, I've been trying to share a music album/ song on instagram stories but when I press share to instagram stories it opens my instagram camera and not the image of an album or a song like it suppose to do. Can anyone help me?

Hey there folks,

We really appreciate your reports about getting directed to the camera view instead when attempting to share music on your Instagram Stories.

We've passed this on to our tech teams and they'll be looking into it.

In the meanwhile, we'd suggest making sure that both apps are rocking the latest version available. You can also try a quick reinstall of them. You can find the steps to reinstall Spotify here. 

If that doesn't do the trick and you're still having troubles, make sure to add your +VOTE and leave a comment with the following details so we can pass them on to the right teams:

• Your device and its OS version
• The version of the Spotify app
• If possible, the version of the Instagram app
• Does this persist when sharing to your Instagram Stories on a different device?

We'll keep you posted on any updates we have, thanks!

I have the same problem on Galaxy S9+. Os and apps are up to date. Also reinstalled both apps, no effect.

Hey there @jg1tr,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community!

It'd be helpful if you could let us know the exact versions of your device's OS and apps so we can pass them on to the teams looking into this.

Further, does the issue persist when sharing to your Instagram Stories on a different device?

We'll be keeping an eye out for your reply. Have a lovely day 🙂
