According to Instagram: We’re delighted to provide the ability to add music to Feed photo postings. Similar to how you do with Reels and Tales since it’s a big part of how people express themselves on Instagram. Regardless of the format that best tells your narrative. You can now add music to your favorite photographic moments to make them come to life.
Where you may look for a song to include with your image post, you may choose an area of the music between 5 and 90 seconds to utilize, adding more context and atmospheric elements to your post. As you know, an additional ‘Add Music’ option is available in the post-composer section.
It seems a little… useless.
I mean, I understand it. TikTok has achieved great success by including music, which is crucial in growing interaction. At the same time, it may also provide more creative options for your Instagram pictures.
But, like, it’s still just an image. It wants a soundtrack.
Will it make your post better?

Music may now be chosen by creators to be played when a picture is viewed after it has been uploaded. To accomplish this, post a picture as usual and then select “Add Music” before sharing. Users can search for music using the interface or explore Instagram’s “Trending” or “For You” categories. After finding a song, users may choose a clip length (between five and 90 seconds), then they can submit the post. When other users scroll to that choice, assuming they don’t have their audio muted, that choice will start playing on the stream.
