How to add your music to your Instagram story

 Instagram and Facebook are incomplete without trending songs! No matter how much you put effort into it, add the filters, transitions, and edits to it, the reels will not be impactful until you add audio to it.

 But how to find the perfect trending songs for your perfect post? This is the real struggle. If you are confused or still searching for the one viral songs for your video or picture post, and also believe in creating a spark in the world of ‘reels’, then you are at the right place.

 We are all prepared to make your Instagram and Facebook stories and reels go viral with engaging music with this post. Here you will find the list of the best trending songs for Instagram reel's. One of Instagram’s most popular features is the one that allows users to add music to the stories they share on the platform. Since 2018, users can search a music library that includes songs from various artists within the app. They can then add a snippet of the song  along with a sticker that displays the song’s lyrics or name and artist details. Here is how you can add music to your Instagram stories.

 

 First, you have to create a story by tapping on the top-left of the Instagram UI. You can click or upload a picture or video you want to turn into a story while adding whatever modifications you want to add, including captions and stickers. Once you are done with that, it is time to add a song to the story.

 Next, click on the sticker icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen where you are creating the story. This will open the various stickers that you can use. From here, select the “music” sticker and then search for the song you would like to add to the story. After you select the song, you can slide its waveform on your story to select the snippet that you want to add.

 After this, you need to adjust where you want the sticker to appear on the story. If you don’t want the sticker on the screen when people view your story, you can slide it past the edge of the screen. Do remember that people will still be able to see the track playing by looking under your username at the top-left of the screen when viewing your story.

 Instagram on Thursday said India is among the first three countries where it is testing a new feature that will allow users to add music to their posts.

 

 India is among the three countries where this will be tested first, the other two being Brazil and Turkey, according to a statement.

 

 "Music plays an instrumental role in enabling people to share, connect and express themselves on Instagram. With this test, Instagram hopes to give its community a way to add a soundtrack to their Feed photos, like they can with Reels and Stories already," it added.

 If a user clicks on the song, they will be taken to an audio page that showcases all posts that have used that song.

 This feature is being tested with a small percentage of Instagram's global community and expanded based on the learning and feedback from the Instagram community, it said.

 Instagram, which is part of Meta (formerly called Facebook), is increasingly launching many of its features in India first. Last year, it had launched its new format 'Reels' that allows users to create and share short videos and India was among the first countries where it was launched. The company went on to launching a separate tab for 'Reels' and India was the first country to get this feature.
