Social Media Platform Instagram has become one of the hottest places to discover good music for those who don’t browse YouTube or Gaana to listen to songs from various genres, countries, and moods. There are times when I hear a song on Instagram Reels and want to revisit them later, but am too lazy to go to Spotify, search for the song and then add it to my playlist. Now, that won’t be an issue anymore as Instagram will now allow adding of trending songs to your Spotify playlist directly from the app. Adding to your playlist means you won’t ever miss those songs again.
