Spotify is joining forces with BeReal allowing users of the site to share what they are listening to with their posts.
BeReal is a social media app that encourages users to take a photo every day using their front and back cameras during the same two-minute period.
It allows those that sign up to the site to showcase an authentic version of themselves, sharing what they are doing in real time.
‘Spotify was built for moments of everyday inspiration, discovery, and interactivity. It also creates the playlist for your everyday life,’ Spotify wrote in a blog post.
‘BeReal is designed to capture and share authentic moments in your daily life with your closest friends. Combining audio from Spotify with BeReal adds another layer of authentic personalization and connection to your BeReal.’
Once connected, BeReal will automatically pull in what you’re listening to on Spotify at the time you capture a snap.
