To access the lyrics on Spotify using the mobile app, while listening to a song, users would need to click on the “Now Playing View”, and then swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Here, the track lyrics will scroll on their own in sync with the song. Then, users can simply click on the “share” button at the bottom of the lyrics screen and then select the portion of the lyrics they wish to share as well as the social media platform they want to share it on.

On the other hand, for the Spotify desktop app, users would have to click on the microphone icon from the “Now Playing” bar when a song is playing. This will show users the lyrics to the song in real time.

Meanwhile, on the Spotify TV app, users would need to open the “Now Playing View” on a song, and while listening to a song, they would need to go to the “lyrics button” on the right corner and select it. This would enable the lyrics in the “Now Playing” view.
