The audio platform has a new feature that works almost exactly like Instagram stories

Stories are all around the web now. Following from Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter (in that order), Spotify has just rolled out its own version of the ‘stories’ feature. 

This week Spotify users started to see circles appear on certain playlists (similar to on Instagram, where a glowing circle denotes a new story update).

The new feature comes roughly one week after Twitter also debuted its new story feature, which it is calling Fleets.

Like the other platforms, Spotify stories features a short video that will remain watchable for 24 hours.

According to sources, Spotify is currently testing the feature (but has not committed 100 per cent to rolling them out).
