Hey, Instagram rolled out music for regular posts not too long ago, so now you can add tracks directly without third-party editing. When you upload a photo or video to your feed, you’ll see an “Add Music” option on the caption screen, right below where you write text and tag people. Tap it, search for a song, pick the section of the track you want (usually 5–15 seconds), and it attaches to your post.
For Reels and Stories, it’s been around longer. You just hit the music sticker in Stories or the audio tab when making a Reel. Same deal: select a track and the exact snippet.
The only catch: not every country has the full music library because of licensing. Also, business accounts sometimes face restrictions. If you want guaranteed control, you can always edit your video with music before uploading—but the in-app feature works great for most people.
