nme.compic.twitter.com/dSJuwlzh9b— Instagram (@instagram) August 22, 2024Songs can already be added to stories, and more recently to posts, but this update will mean music can be added straight to your profile without the need to post anything new.To add music to your profile, navigate to your profile settings and select “Add music to your profile.” From there, you can either search for songs or explore the “For You” section.Once you’ve chosen a track, you’ll have the option to feature a specific 30-second snippet on your profile.
