Thanks to a new app for iOS 10 iMessage, you can now share music via text without the hassle of sending Youtube links back and forth. SoundShare, a social network for music lovers, rolled out its messaging plug-in on Thursday, TechCrunch reports, and this is one you'll want to try for yourself. The service allows iMessage users to select songs and share them without being confined to listening to them on one music platform. Although Apple Music and Pandora already offer iMessage apps, you need to subscribe to their services to listen to songs in their entirety. SoundShare is different because it allows users to listen on whatever platform they prefer. You can hop over to YouTube, Apple Music, or launch iTunes for a preview or to purchase a song. In order to get the free SoundShare app for iMessage, you need to download the main application, which allows users to connect with one another and create collaborative playlists across platforms.

SoundShare has launched a plugin which allows iMessage users to share music via text without limiting them to a single music platform. Apple Music and Pandora already offer iMessage apps, but these require subscriptions to listen to music on their services. SoundShare users, on the other hand, can choose between YouTube, Apple Music, or iTunes to launch a preview or to buy a song. The company says that it will be adding more features in future versions of its app, including support for multiple accounts per device, as well as an option to send songs from your phone directly into another device.
