What's new?

This new feature is a great addition for artists looking to showcase their music in a set of photos on their main feed instead of just Stories or Reels. If you have behind-the-scenes photos from your latest music video ready to post, you can add your music to amplify the vibe to your audience.
You don't have to limit yourself to your own indian mobile number music either. You can use this feature to show off your impeccable taste and add a little spice to an otherwise ordinary carousel.
On the other hand, let’s say you just released new music with another artist or band… Now, you can also collaborate with up to 3 people to promote your latest track. That means you and your collaborators can post those behind-the-scenes photos, add your song, and share it with three times as many people in one go.

Don't see your song? If you want your music to appear on Instagram, our partnership with Facebook (which covers Instagram and other services) makes it easy. We upload your content to Facebook's systems to find anyone using that same content. Your music will then be available for use on Instagram and Lip Sync Live, Instagram Stories, and the like.
