All Pandora users can now share albums, podcasts, playlists or Pandora stations with their friends via Instagram Stories, & also give them free access to Pandora’s entire library of music & podcasts.
According to an announcement by Pandora, sharing Content on Instagram Stories starts rolling out to limited Pandora users today, & will be available to all Pandora users over the coming weeks.
Whenever you’re playing your favorite audio entertainment on the Pandora app, just tap “Share” & then “Instagram Stories” on the Now Playing screen, & a special Cover Art card for that music or podcast will generate on your Instagram Stories.
You can then add text & stickers to your Cover Art card & share as a Story, or send it as a direct message to a friend, a group of friends, or all of your followers. Each “card” has a distinctive color dynamic based on that music or podcast’s original cover art, so each Pandora share on Instagram Stories is “eye-catching & unique.”
When your friends on Instagram see the Cover Art card you’ve shared, they can tap “Play on Pandora” & get direct access to that Content, as well as Pandora’s full music & podcast library. Friends who don’t already have a Pandora Premium account can access your shared Content plus a session of free, unlimited, on-demand music & podcasts after viewing a short ad thanks to Pandora’s Premium Access feature, said Pandora.
