How to share a liked track on Spotify: a simple guide

Have you just liked a song on Spotify and want to send it to someone, add it to a playlist, or share it on social media? Good news: Spotify offers several ways to share a song you like in just a few seconds, on both mobile and desktop devices.

In this guide, we see:

• How to share a liked track on Spotify (iPhone/Android and PC/Mac);
• how to obtain a clean Spotify link and share it;
• What to do if the person doesn't have Spotify or doesn't have Premium;
• useful tips (QR codes, Spotify Codes, sharing on Discord);
• and how to optimize the cost of Spotify if you use it every day.

1) What exactly is a "liked track" on Spotify?

When you tap the heart (or "Like"), the song is added to Liked Tracks. This is a personal library, a bit like an "automatic playlist" that collects everything you like.

Key points:

• Liked tracks are private by default: no one can see your likes unless you choose to share a song or playlist.
• A liked track can be shared just like any other Spotify track: link, social media, copy to a playlist, etc.

2) How to share a liked track on Spotify (iPhone/Android)

This is the fastest method, especially if you want to send a song on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Discord, etc.

1. Open Spotify on your phone.
2. Go to Library → Liked Titles.
3. Find the song you want to share.
4. Tap the three dots (⋯) next to the title.
5. Select Share.
6. Choose:
   • an app (WhatsApp, Messages, Instagram, Snapchat, Discord, etc.)
   • or Copy the link if you want to paste it wherever you want.

Tip: if you are already on the song page (cover art + player), the ⋯ menu also allows you to share directly.

3) Share a liked track on Spotify from a computer (PC/Mac)

On a computer, you can send the link in two clicks, which is handy for sharing a song in an email or on a Discord server.

1. Open Spotify (desktop or web app).
2. In the left-hand menu, go to Liked Titles.
3. Right-click on the track (or click on ⋯).
4. Click on Share then:
   • Copy the link to the song
   • or Embed if you want to add a Spotify player to a website (embed).

4) The best format to send: Spotify link, direct share, or Spotify Code?

Depending on the context, one format may be more practical than another.

Send a Spotify link (the most universal)

• Works everywhere: SMS, WhatsApp, email, Discord, etc.
• The person opens the track in Spotify (app or browser).

Share via an app (fastest)

• Spotify automatically opens the list of compatible applications.
• Perfect for Instagram Stories, Snapchat, Messenger, etc.

Use a Spotify Code (handy in face-to-face situations)

Spotify can display a visual code (a Spotify barcode) that someone can scan in the app.

On mobile:

1. Open the song page.
2. Press ⋯
3. The Spotify Code appears (and can be saved/screenshot).

It's perfect for sharing a liked track at a party, at the office, or with someone next to you.

5) Sharing a liked title on Discord: what really works

There are two different uses:

5.1. Send a title in a Discord channel

• Copy the Spotify link for the song.
• Paste it into a text editor.
• Discord often displays a clickable preview.

5.2. Show what you're listening to in your Discord status

It's not strictly speaking "liked title" sharing, but many people use it to share songs.
To do this, you need to link Spotify to Discord in Discord connections, then enable the "Listening to Spotify" status display.

6) What if the person doesn't have Spotify (or Premium)?

She doesn't have Spotify at all.

• The Spotify link will open in a browser, with a limited player.
• The best option is to also send:
  • song title + artist
  • or an alternative link (official YouTube, for example), if your goal is just to have people listen to it.

She has Spotify but not Premium.

• She will be able to listen to the song, but depending on the device:
  • reading with ads,
  • random order on certain playlists,
  • limitations depending on features.
• For comfortable sharing (ad-free listening, offline, high quality), Premium remains the simplest option.

7) Common problems (and quick fixes)

“I don't see the Share option.”

• Update Spotify.
• Try using the song's menu (not just from the list).

“The link does not open correctly for the other person.”

• Send a copied link via Copy Link (rather than sharing via an app that may rewrite the link).
• Ask them to open the link with Spotify (and not an in-app browser).

“I want to share several liked tracks at once.”

The best method:

• create a dedicated playlist (“My current favorites”),
• add your liked titles,
• then share the playlist (easier than sending 10 separate links).

8) Bonus: if you use Spotify every day, optimize the cost

If you're at the point where you regularly share your liked tracks (and listen to Spotify on multiple devices), you're probably a heavy user. And in that case, a Premium subscription quickly pays for itself... especially if you're paying for it on your own.

A simple solution is to join or offer a place in a shareable subscription (according to Spotify's terms and conditions) in order to split the cost rather than paying the full price.

That's exactly how Spliiit works: the platform connects people who want to legally share certain subscriptions and secures payment management between the account holder and co-subscribers. The result: you keep Spotify Premium, but significantly reduce the price per person.
