Steps
Open Spotify and sign in on your phone or computer. Make sure the playlist you want to share is saved in your account.
Tap or click Library in the bottom bar on mobile or the left sidebar on desktop. Find the playlist you want to send.
Select the playlist by tapping it. If you want a new one, create a playlist first and add your songs.
Tap the three dots at the top of the playlist on mobile, or click the three dots on desktop. A menu opens.
Choose Share from the menu. On mobile you may see Share first, then more options.
Pick Copy link to copy the playlist URL. You can paste it into a message, email or post.
Or choose an app from the share sheet, such as Messages, WhatsApp or Instagram, and send the link directly.
On desktop, use the Copy link option and paste it where you want. Friends who open the link can play the playlist in Spotify.
Tips and common mistakes
A shared link only works for people who can access the playlist, so keep it public or send it to invited collaborators.
If the three dots menu looks different, look for Share under the playlist name or cover image.
You can also drag the playlist cover into a chat on desktop to send the link quickly.
Questions
Can I share a playlist I did not create?
Yes, you can copy the link to any public playlist you follow. Private playlists will not open for others until you make them public.
Do my friends need Spotify Premium to open the link?
No. A free Spotify account can open and play the shared playlist, though ads will play between songs.
How do I stop someone from editing my playlist?
Only make someone a collaborator if you want them to add or remove songs. Otherwise just send the link and keep the playlist set to view only.
