Instagram keeps on rolling out new features for its users to enhance their user experience. Recently the Meta-owned social media platform has released another feature which a number of content creators are going to love. Gone are the days when you used to create one reel and then think for hours about which one song to use with it. Now you can go Gaga with your content and can use up to 20 songs in a single reel. 

Following TikTok's exit from India, Instagram has risen to become the leading platform for short video creation among content creators, including both regular users and influencers. Currently, this social media giant enjoys immense popularity worldwide, particularly among millions of youth. Instagram's appeal spans across both younger audiences and adults, who are increasingly engaging with reels and short-form videos on the platform.

Now with this feature in the picture, it's possible that the popularity might just increase even further than what it is right now.
