Missed the Myspace days where you could add music to your profile page? Well, Meta just launched a new feature where music can be added to photos in your Instagram Feed, giving you the opportunity to customize your content even more!
When will the feature be available?
On November 10, through its Creator account, Instagram announced a new feature stating:
Introducing the ability to add music to photos in Instagram News Feed, giving creators more tools to bring their content to life and express themselves!
Users can use the feature, starting today, with the option to share up to 90 seconds of a song of their choice.
Tutorial How To Add Music To Photos On Instagram
You’ll follow the same process as you would when uploading content to Instagram.
- Once you skip the Instagram Editor and get to the last step before publishing your content, you’ll see an option under “Add location” to “Add Music”.
- From there, you’ll choose the song and duration (up to 90 seconds). The standard duration is 30 seconds. If you want more time, you need to click where it says “30” and switch to the desired duration.
- If you want to change the part of a pre-selected song for you, just slide your finger over the sound left or right.
- Once those steps are complete, you’ll click “Done” and then “Share” to publish the post to your Instagram Feed.

There have certainly been mixed reviews about this feature. Some feel as though it’s too much like Myspace..

But it seems, they went in different directions or it was just wishful thinking.
With this new feature, Instagram hopes to give creators the option to “create background music for their Feed photos like you can with Stories and Stories.”
Roommate, have you used the new feature?
