Lately, TIDAL seems determined to stand out from the competition by going against the grain of the industry. While the big names in music streaming have always refused to offer universal sharing links, TIDAL has just acquired this very practical functionality.
TIDAL is becoming the little troublemaker of music streaming and it’s not its users who are going to complain. A few days ago already, this industry outsider thumbed his nose at Spotify. While the market leader had just increased its prices – accusing the French government in the process – TIDAL proudly announced a reduction in its prices. To date, the service is undoubtedly the best alternative to the giants in the sector.
And the latter intends to solidify his position. Now cheaper, it is also more complete. Indeed, its latest update brings a previously unseen functionality among the big names in music streaming. Still, it’s not users’ fault for asking them. We are of course talking about the possibility of sharing a song via a universal link, open with any streaming application.
TIDAL is one of the first music streaming services to offer this feature
Today, if you try to share a song with a loved one, they will have no other choice but to use the same application as you. Impossible, for example, for a Deezer user to play a song sent from Spotify, even if it is also in their catalog. There are certainly third-party applications that allow you to do this, but they are neither very well known nor very widespread.

TIDAL is therefore clearly changing the situation with this new update. The service has not yet released the list of compatible applications, but users have already been able to confirm that sharing works with Apple Music and YouTube Music. Other services will be added in the future, says TIDAL. If you are subscribed to the platform, do not hesitate to restart the application after updating to bring up the functionality.
