Instagram Has a New Music Feature. Here’s How to Access It.

Instagram is starting to roll out a new music feature for its users.

Loudwire astutely noticed Twitter users sharing they are now able to add music to their photo posts on their profile feeds. When you go to add a new photo post, you see “Add Music” as an option below “Tag People,” “Tag Products” and “Add Location” before you publish and share your photo. (See image below.) So far, the “Add Music” option is only available on single photo posts and not posts featuring multiple images.

If you’re trying to access this feature and it’s not coming up, keep in mind that is appears it’s a gradual roll out. However, try turning your smartphone off and on. This author tried that, and the feature magically appeared.

This is the latest Instagram music feature that’s making headlines. Just last month, Mashable reported the social platform was internally testing a feature that would allow users to add songs to their profiles. This led many to playfully declare the days of MySpace and their profile songs feature are back! Oh, what a simpler, more innocent time!
