Instagram Now Lets You Add Music to Your Profile With This New Update; Here’s How It Works
Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to add music to their bios. Previously, users could only include music in their posts. As of today, users can now select a 30-second song from Instagram’s music library to include in their bios. However, the song won’t play automatically; users will have to click on the song to listen.
Steps to add music to your profile:
1. Go to the “Edit Profile” page.
2. Search and select a song from Instagram’s licensed music library.
3. Choose a 30-second segment to display on your profile.
Instagram will add a new category called “Flavor” to bios where songs will appear. The selected song will stay on the profile until the user decides to delete or replace it.
Instagram is promoting the new feature with the help of Sabrina Carpenter, best known for her song “Espresso.” To build excitement for her upcoming album, Carpenter’s personal page will feature a preview of a new track, allowing fans to listen to unreleased music before its official release.
Update notes on Instagram:
In addition to the music feature, Instagram has updated its Notes feature with new color options. Specific phrases like “Demure,” “Cutesy,” “Considerate,” and “Mindful” will trigger a color change that creates a pink hue. However, this color often looks a bit milky due to low saturation and varying screen quality.
Instagram previously had a yellow notes feature that has since been removed. Users could no longer use certain keywords to create yellow notes. The new pink option replaces the discontinued yellow notes, providing a new visual update to the Notes feature.
