You can now live stream and share Apple Music from a Messenger bot, even without an account

Facebook, last April, announced plans of bringing Apple Music to the Messenger platform. With probably all preparation done, we now have the service secured in its existence; with the streaming music service formally available to the social network’s Messenger system users.

You then can interact one on one with the bot in a chat just the way you would with any other of your friends. You can even send to it an emoji and it will suggest for you a playlist to match with the emoji.

One amazing feature is that you don’t have to own an Apple Music subscription for you to be able to listen to music. You can live stream and share 30-second clips from any track you discover.
