Add Music To Your Instagram Profile: A Step-by-Step Guide

Music has become a big focus of Instagram thanks to the success of Reels. The photo-sharing platform is now adding music to every nook and cranny of its platform. You could already add music to your Instagram stories, posts, and even notes, but with a new update, you can now showcase your music taste on your Instagram profile.

Yep, you can now add your new favorite track and highlight it on your Instagram profile. This way, your friends and followers can listen to said music from your profile page directly and learn which artist you’ve been jamming to as of late.

How to Add Music to Your Instagram Profile

If you're wondering how to find this exciting new feature, here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how to add music to your profile on Instagram.

On Instagram, tap on the profile icon from the bottom bar.
Inside your profile page, tap on Edit profile.
Here, tap on Music.
On the next screen, select Pick a song for your profile.
Select your preferred song from the list of options under “For you” or “Browse”. You can also look up tracks you can’t find here using the Search music bar at the top.
Now, edit the track duration using the seek bar at the bottom and then tap on the tick sign or Done.
To add this song to your profile, tap on the tick sign or Done at the top right.
You’ll now return to the Edit profile screen, where you’ll be able to see the music you just added.

The song will be added to your page, and you can press the Play icon to listen to it. The feature works for both Android and iPhone versions of the app. However, it is missing on the web version, so even if someone did add a song to their profile, you won’t see it on your desktop.

This feature has been a long time coming, as it was available to a limited number of users for months before being deleted and is now publicly available to everyone. If you haven’t received the feature yet, update the app right away!

But it’s still a great way to express yourself and your current mood on the app. What do you think about this feature? Did you receive it already or are you still waiting in line for it? Let us know in the comments below.
