To do this, install and launch the app Spotify on your smartphone or tablet, (referring to my tutorial on how to download Spotify for free, in case of doubts or problems). Once the application has started, log in to your account or register for free, so you can browse the service catalog and locate the song to share on the Instagram story.
In this regard, to search for a song on Spotify, you can first refer to the main screen (the symbol of a house), in which there are some featured music albums.
