How to share music on Telegram
Sending a song on Telegram is easy. Sending one that everyone in the chat can play is not. A Spotify link is no help to a friend on Apple Music, and the reverse is just as awkward.
@SonGGBot fixes that. It sends one short link, and each person opens the song in the app they already use. No account, no downloads.
In this guide, you'll learn:
- How to share a song in any chat
- How to share a link you already copied
- What your friends see when they tap it
- Answers to common questions
Share a song in any chat
- Open the chat. A private chat, a group or a channel you post in all work.
- Type
@SonGGBot, a space, then the song. For example@SonGGBot Bob Marley Redemption Song. Results with cover art appear above the keyboard. - Tap the right song. Telegram sends a short son.gg link with the cover, plus two buttons: Open in your app and Make your own.
Artist and title together give the best results. You don't need to start the bot first, but starting it lets you search from the bot chat too with /search.
Share a link you already copied
Got a link from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, Deezer, SoundCloud or TIDAL? Paste it into the box on son.gg and tap Create link. Copy the short link it gives you and send it in Telegram as a normal message.
What your friends see
- A preview in the chat with the cover art, title and artist.
- A page with a button for each app: Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, YouTube, Deezer, TIDAL, Amazon Music, SoundCloud and more.
- A 30-second preview where one is available.
If a service has no exact match for the song, its button opens a search for it there instead.
Son.gg shares links, not files
Son.gg does not download music or send MP3s. It links to the song on the streaming services your friends already use. To send an audio file you own, use the paperclip menu in Telegram.

Frequently asked questions
How do I send music on Telegram?
In any chat, type @SonGGBot followed by a space and the song name. Pick the right song from the list and Telegram sends a short Son.gg link with the cover art. Your friends tap it and choose the app they use.
Can I share a Spotify song on Telegram with someone who uses Apple Music?
Yes. Paste the Spotify link into son.gg to get one short link, or search the song with @SonGGBot. The link opens a page where each person picks Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer or another app.
Does @SonGGBot download music or send MP3 files?
No. Son.gg shares links to songs on streaming services. It does not host, download or send audio files. To send a file you own, use the paperclip menu in Telegram instead.
Does it work in Telegram groups and channels?
Yes. Type @SonGGBot and a song name in the group or channel message box. If nothing happens, the group may block inline bots, which Telegram groups together with stickers and GIFs. Ask an admin to allow them.
Do my friends need the bot or an account?
No. Anyone who taps the link can open the song in their own app. They do not need the bot, a Son.gg account or the same streaming service as you.
Is @SonGGBot free?
Yes. The bot and the links are free to use, with no sign-up.
I searched for @song on Telegram. Is this the same bot?
The Son.gg bot is @SonGGBot, spelled with two g’s. It is for sharing songs as links, not for downloading music.
