How to Add Music to Instagram Posts

Common reasons: 1) Business accounts have limited music due to licensing, 2) Your region may have music restrictions, 3) The specific song isn't available in your country, 4) Your app needs updating. Try switching to a Personal or Creator account for full music access.

Business accounts have limited music access due to commercial licensing restrictions. You can only use royalty-free music or tracks specifically licensed for business use. Switch to a Creator account for full music library access while keeping professional features.

The process is the same as single-image posts. After selecting multiple photos, tap 'Next', then 'Add music'. The same song will play across all slides. Each viewer hears music from the beginning when they start viewing.

Try: 1) Update your Instagram app, 2) Clear app cache, 3) Check if you're using a Business account (switch to Creator), 4) Your region may not support music, 5) Reinstall the app. Music features roll out gradually to different regions.

For Reels: You can use 'Original Audio' by recording with your own music playing. For Posts/Stories: Only Instagram's licensed library is available. Using copyrighted music without a license may result in your content being muted or removed.

For feed posts, you can add 5-90 seconds of music. For Stories, music clips can be up to 15 seconds (or the length of your Story clip). For Reels, music can match your full Reel length (up to 90 seconds).

It depends on the viewer's settings. If they have sound on, music plays automatically when scrolling to your post. If sound is off (default for many users), they'll see a speaker icon and need to tap to hear the music.

No, you cannot edit music after publishing a feed post. You would need to delete and re-upload. For Stories, you'd need to create a new Story. Plan your music choice carefully before posting.
