The publisher of Snapchat has signed agreements with the music industry, including Warner and Universal, to settle copyright. According to him, the function will allow fans to forge more intense bonds with the artists and the music. A more effective power of recommendation is also highlighted thanks to the proximity of the links between Snapchat users.

“We make sure that the entire music ecosystem – artists, labels, songwriters, publishers and streaming services – sees the value of our partnerships.”

Snap hopes to set itself apart from TikTok, where the navigation is done through contributors who have used the same sound for their video.

In testing in Australia and New Zealand, the functionality will be deployed this fall in English-speaking markets.
