Instagram has 10 million active users in Australia a month and is the leader for visual content like reels, photos, and videos, is home to influencers, private accounts, and creative businesses.
The save feature on Instagram allows you to save your favourite songs and use them later for your own videos and reels. But, how do you use it?
Don’t worry, the process is rather straightforward. The following article will explain how to save music on Instagram in a few simple steps, so let’s start.
You just need to follow a few steps in order to save music on your Instagram account:
1. Find a reel with music that you like
2. Click on the song title in the lower-left corner
3. Once you do, you’ll be taken to a page that contains all the reels with that audio
4. Click on the ‘save audio’ option above the reels, right below the song title.
Finding saved audio on Instagram is really easy, just follow the steps below:
Now that you know how easy it is to save Instagram music, let’s proceed with explaining how to share your saved music:
Note: The ‘save audio’ option works only on iOS and Android phones, but not on the web app. Also, you can only copy the link and share it with friends, but you cannot download the audio directly on your phone.
Music is among the most pirated media content type, and due to copyright reasons, you cannot use music from a recorded artist for your Instagram business account.
This is only a problem for business accounts, so it’s pretty easy to go around.
For a while, Instagram had only two types of profiles: A personal profile, and a business profile. The newest addition to the platform is the creator profile, and it offers the same functions as a business profile, plus the ability to save and use music easily.
To switch to a creator profile (whether your profile is currently personal or business):
There are three more ways that will allow you to add music to an Instagram Business account:
1. Use the original music posted by other Instagram accounts. You often see this with business profiles, and in the lower-left corner you’ll see ‘Original Audio’, instead of the artist and song name.
2. Switch your profile category to ‘entrepreneur’:
3. There is an option to hide the profile category as well. You can hide it by disabling the category label in the ‘Profile Display’ section. However, hiding the profile category will remove the category from your profile bio, so people won’t be able to know what you do.
You’ll still have a business Instagram account but without labels, and this might cause confusion for some. On the bright side, you’ll be able to use Instagram music as usual.
