For users who subscribe to Spotify and already spend a considerable amount of time on Facebook, spending even more time scrolling through your news feed is even easier to do thanks to the miniplayer.<br \/>\nThe feature is the culmination of a deal between the two companies. A years-long partnership already offered things like the ability to easily share your favorite tracks or playlists. Which your friends and followers could interact with to play them. Without this integration though you would have to keep the Spotify app open. Now, you don\u2019t have to.<br \/>\nMeaning if you prefer to keep Facebook open at all times, you can have one less tab running if you also like to listen to music throughout the day.<br \/>\nThe Spotify miniplayer on Facebook supports music and podcasts<br \/>\nWhether you fancy music from your favorite artists or you like listening to podcasts, the new miniplayer lets you access both. You do have to be a Spotify Premium users to access the feature though.<br \/>\nAs it\u2019s not available to Spotify basic users.\u00a0 The feature provides full playback just like you\u2019d get in the Spotify app or on the Spotify web player. However playback can only be accessed by tapping the play button on a track or podcast episode that someone in your news feed has shared.<br \/>\nIf you simply want to start playback without seeing a shared post, you\u2019ll have to do so one of two ways. Share your own post, or just start playback from Spotify.<br \/>\nThe feature is only available through the Facebook app on mobile<br \/>\nRight now the miniplayer isn\u2019t available on the Facebook website. And Spotify doesn\u2019t mention whether or not it will be at any point. This seems to be specifically targeted at mobile users.<br \/>\nAnd it kind of makes sense given how much time people spend on Facebook through the mobile app. It\u2019s also available for both Android and iOS users. Spotify says it\u2019s pushing the integration out to various regions, including the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and many others. It is not however available everywhere yet.<br \/>\nIf it is available for you, music will continue playing as you scroll. With controls accessible at the bottom of the UI just above the navigation bar. So it\u2019s always in view and you can pause the music or play it without ever leaving the app.<br \/>\nThe post Now You Have One More Reason To Never Close Facebook appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/AH-Spotify-new-logo-1-600x337-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook is pushing out a new tool for users today, with the arrival of a news feed-based Spotify miniplayer.
