Alert: Spotify Provides Option for Sharing Specific Podcast Timepoints

In a bid to make podcast sharing more accessible and user-friendly, Spotify has rolled out a host of new features. The streaming giant aims to make sharing podcasts with specific timestamps easier, similar to the functionality available on YouTube.

To share a podcast with a timestamp on Spotify, users can click the "share" button, toggle on the "share from" button, and choose a platform. This new feature saves users the trouble of double and triple checking timestamps before sharing podcasts with others.

Spotify's investment in improving its social and sharing features doesn't stop at podcasts. The company has also introduced more options for its short-form looping visuals feature, Canvas. Canvas is now available on Snapchat in addition to Instagram Stories, making it easier for users to engage with Spotify content across multiple platforms.

The overhauled Canvas sharing menu on Spotify now allows users to preview what and where they're sharing Spotify content. This feature is designed to enhance user experience, making it simpler to share content in the right context.

In addition to these improvements, Spotify has also added new social features for podcasts. Users can now directly message songs, podcasts, or audiobooks to people, making it easier to share favourite content with friends and family.

The intensified competition between Spotify and Apple over podcasts may be driven by the growing importance of podcasts in the media landscape. For years, Spotify and Apple have been at war over content, and this latest move by Spotify is a clear indication that the battle is far from over.

With these new features, Spotify is not only making it easier for users to share content, but also investing in tools to make its content more easily accessible. The new features on Spotify aim to make sharing podcasts with specific timestamps easier, a move that may further intensify the competition between Spotify and Apple in the podcast arena.
