  • Open the ‘Audio’ folder and here you’ll find all the music that you’ve saved.

How to Save and Share Music From Instagram Reels

Now that you know how easy it is to save Instagram music, let’s proceed with explaining how to share your saved music:

  • Repeat the steps from the section above and once you find the audio you’d like to share, click on its title
  • You’ll be forwarded to a page with all the reels that use this audio
  • To share the audio, click on the ‘paper plane’ icon in the upper-right corner and send it to others through DM
  • If you want to share the audio on another app, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner, right next to the arrow
  • Select the ‘copy link’ option
  • By copying the link, you can share the audio on different platforms.

How to Save and Add Music to Your Instagram Business Account

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): 

  • Open the Instagram app
  • Go to your profile tab
  • Tap the menu button in the upper right corner of your Instagram profile
  • Tap ‘Settings’
  • Select ‘Account’ from the menu
  • Scroll down to ‘Switch Account Type’
  • Choose ‘creator account’.

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’:

  • Open your Instagram account
  • Tap on ‘Edit profile’
  • Edit your profile category so that it says ‘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.
