We’re all used to adding images to Instagram, but sometimes, we want our images to have a little bit more flair. Music is a good way to do this, and the company is launching a new feature that users will like. Instagram will let you add music to your photo slideshows, according to Engadget.
Let’s not mince words here; This idea is not new. TikTok, the thorn ever stuck in Mark Zuckerberg’s side, came up with this idea last year. However, top social media/video-sharing platforms take from each other to remain competitive.
Instagram will let you add music to your photo slideshows
As stated before, photos could stand to have a little more flair. If you post a picture of you at a ta concert, it’d help to hear music from the act that was performing. If you post pictures from your latest skiing trip, why now have “Let It Go” playing in the background?
This feature was launched in collaboration with Olivia Rodrigo and her new pop single “Bad Idea, Right?”. When you add your photo slideshow, you’ll be able to pick from a list of licensed music that you want to accompany the photos. The company launched this feature on the back of the music for feed photos, so that’s another way that you can add music to your posts.
Along with this feature, Instagram now allows up to four people to make collabs. That’s up from only two people. So, if you and three of your friends really want to collaborate on Reel, you can.
Next up, Instagram added a change to the Add Yours sticker. People are able to add their own prompts and content to a Reel. Well, after this new update, the creators will be able to actually highlight the post that stuck out to them the most. It’s a great way for creators to interact with their followers.
Lastly, Instagram is partnering with Spotify to bring its music library to more people. It will expand to more countries and showcase today’s most popular music.
