Sound On! Instagram’s New Music Feature is a Must-Try!

Instagram is bringing back the vibes of the early 2000s with a brand new music feature! Partnering with singer Sabrina Carpenter, the platform is now allowing users to add a song to their profiles.

This exciting update lets you set the mood for your page and express yourself through music. Whether you want to relive your MySpace days or simply share your current favorite tune, this feature is a fun way to personalize your profile.

How to Add Music to Your Instagram Profile

Adding music to your profile is easy and only takes a few steps:

1. Update your app: Make sure you have the latest version of Instagram installed.
2. Navigate to your profile: Tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
3. Edit your profile: Click “Edit Profile”.
4. Find the music option: Look for the new “Music” section in the list of options.
5. Choose your song: Search for the artist or song you want to add.
6. Select a clip: Instagram will suggest a 30-second clip of the song. You can adjust the selection by moving the slider.
7. Save your changes: Once you’re happy with your choice, tap “Done” to save the song to your profile.

Note: Currently, adding music and viewing other profiles’ music seems to be limited to the Instagram mobile app.

Bonus: Look for Sabrina Carpenter Easter Eggs!

To celebrate the launch and Carpenter’s new album “Short n’ Sweet,” Instagram has hidden a couple of fun Easter eggs:
