Show Off Your Vibe: How To Add Music To Your Instagram Profile With These Simple Steps

Instagram's new feature lets users showcase their favourite music directly on their profile page. Here’s how you can also go about it:

Meta-owned Instagram continues to innovate, adding exciting new features to enhance creativity and fun for its users. The platform has already integrated music into Stories, Posts, and Reels, and now it's taking it a step further by letting you add music directly to your profile page. With this new feature, you can showcase your favourite tracks or reflect your mood through music right on your profile. However, Instagram isn’t the first to offer this capability. MySpace, a social media platform from the early 2000s, was among the pioneers in allowing users to add songs to their profiles.

What Is The New Feature And How It Works? 

This latest Instagram feature allows you to add a song to your profile, displaying it right below your bio. You and your followers can play the song directly from the profile page. It promises to be a dynamic and engaging way to connect with your audience, adding a unique personal touch to your Instagram presence. Whether you’re showcasing your favourite track or setting a musical mood, this update can open up exciting new possibilities for self-expression and creativity.
