Facebook Messenger to get an Apple Music chat extension

Apple will be introducing an Apple Music chat extension to Facebook Messenger, making it possible for folks to bring the music streaming app into conversations with friends and family members and share music, according to VentureBeat.

Chat extensions are part of version 2.0 of Facebook’s Messenger platform. Within a Messenger conversation you can access Apple’s streaming music service from the newly launched plus sign next to the text box, then finding the extension in the carousel.

Facebook already integrates with Apple Music in the main app with a song sharing feature dubbed Music Stories. It lets users share tracks from Apple Music directly to the Facebook feed where music can be previewed inline and opened in Apple Music.
