Sharing your favorite music from Apple Music to Facebook used to be tricky. There weren’t many options, and connecting the two platforms was not very smooth.
Things have changed. Facebook makes it easy to add music to posts and stories. You can share what you are listening to from Apple Music, or add songs directly in Facebook so friends can play them from your posts or stories. Whether you are in Apple Music or the Facebook app, the process is simple and easy to use.
All of these options let you share music creatively and keep your friends updated on what you are listening to. You might have small issues, like Apple Music pausing when Facebook is open, but overall, sharing and connecting through music makes it worthwhile. And it is actually easy.
Part 1. Can I Connect Apple Music to Facebook?
If you're a fan of Apple Music, you might have noticed that it doesn't quite have the same social features as some other platforms, like Spotify. While Spotify lets you directly link with Facebook and see what your friends are listening to, Apple Music hasn't really integrated those kinds of social tools. There's no "Find Friends" feature here. But that doesn't mean you can't share your favorite tracks and albums with your Facebook friends. So, how exactly can you connect Apple Music to Facebook and start sharing your music?
The key is your Apple Music profile link. It's not quite the same as syncing with Facebook, but it still lets you share your music and follow friends within the Apple Music app.
Here is a complete guide to help users find and add friends on Apple Music online platform with ease.
Part 2. How to Share Apple Music Songs to Facebook Stories on Mobile
Sharing songs to Facebook Stories from your phone is simple. On iPhone or Android, find a song, album, or playlist in Apple Music and share it directly to your Story. Friends can tap the Story to listen instantly. While Apple Music doesn’t have direct Facebook integration, sharing this way is smooth and interactive. Pairing the song with a photo or video makes the Story more engaging and personal.
Share Directly from the Apple Music App (iPhone/Android)
Step 1 Open the Apple Music app on your iPhone or Android device. Make sure you’re signed in with your Apple ID.
Step 2 Browse or search for the song, album, or playlist you want to share. Use the search bar at the top to find tracks quickly.

Step 4 Tap 'Share Song', 'Share Album', or 'Share Playlist'. This opens a list of sharing destinations.
Step 5 Scroll through the sharing options and tap Facebook. If it’s your first time, Apple Music may ask for permission to access your Facebook account.
Step 6 For Facebook Stories, tap 'Share to Facebook Stories'. Add text, GIFs, stickers, or emojis to customize your post. If sharing a playlist, you can also track how many people listen through the shared link.
Step 7 For Messenger, tap 'Send via Messenger', select the friends you want to send it to, and tap Send. Only the chosen recipients will see the link, keeping your sharing private.
Part 3. How to Share Apple Music Links on Facebook Feed (Desktop & Web)
On a computer, sharing Apple Music links is easy, and this works well for longer posts or when adding a comment. Friends can open the link directly in Apple Music. You can also include a link to your Apple Music profile so visitors can explore your library.

Part 4. How to Add Apple Music Stickers to Facebook Stories (Mobile & Desktop)
Music stickers add an interactive touch to Facebook Stories. In the Story creator, search for a song and add it as a sticker that viewers can tap to play. Stickers work best with photos or videos and make Stories more dynamic. Even without direct integration, this method lets Apple Music users share music creatively.
Step 1 Open the Facebook app and tap 'Create Story' at the top of your feed. On desktop, select 'Add to Story' from your profile.
Step 2 Choose a photo, video, or background color for your Story.
Step 3 Tap the sticker icon (smiley face) and scroll or search for 'Music'.
Step 4 Type the song, album, or artist you want to add. Tap the track to add it as a sticker.
Step 5 Adjust the sticker’s position and size by dragging or pinching. Add text or emojis for extra flair. The sticker is interactive, so viewers can tap it to play the song directly in Apple Music.
Step 6 When ready, tap 'Share Story'. Your friends can now discover and play the music instantly.
Part 5. How to Discover Apple Music Songs on Facebook
Facebook helps you discover Apple Music through friends and Messenger. The Apple Music Bot lets you search for songs, artists, and playlists. Subscribers can listen to full songs or previews, and the bot can suggest playlists based on emojis. This makes discovering and sharing music fun and easy.
Step 1 Open Messenger and type 'Apple Music' in the search bar, then select the Apple Music Bot.
Step 2 In the chat, type the name of an artist, song, or playlist, or send emojis to get music suggestions. Using emojis can make recommendations more personalized.
Step 3 Browse the bot’s recommendations. Subscribers can listen to full songs, while others can hear 30-second previews.
Step 4 Tap any track link to open it in Apple Music and start listening.
Step 5 Share the track with friends by forwarding it in Messenger or using Apple Music’s share options to connect and explore music together.
Part 6. How to Fix Apple Music Pauses When Opening Facebook
Apple Music may pause when you open Facebook due to in-app sound settings or playback conflicts. Users usually fix this by adjusting Facebook audio settings, updating apps, or restarting the device. Once set up, sharing and listening works smoothly.
Step 1 Open the Facebook app and tap the menu icon in the bottom right corner.
Step 2 Scroll to 'Settings & Privacy', then tap 'Settings'.
Step 3 Scroll to 'Media and Contacts' and select 'Videos and Photos'.
Step 4 Locate 'Autoplay' and set it to 'Off', which prevents in-app sounds from pausing your music.

Step 6 Open Apple Music and start playing a song, then open Facebook to test. Music should continue playing without interruption.
