Instagram has recently rolled out a new feature called ‘profile song’, aimed at enhancing the customization of user profiles. This feature allows users to add a specific song to their profile that reflects their mood or preferences. The platform has a vast library of licensed songs that users can choose from to personalize their profiles.
For the debut of the profile song feature, Instagram has partnered with US-based singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter. The official Instagram handle announced this collaboration on X, introducing the new feature to users. The selected song will be displayed below the user’s bio and can be played by tapping on the music icon, allowing a 30-second playback.
To add a profile song to your Instagram account, you can follow these simple steps:
1. Select ‘Edit Profile’ from your Profile tab.
2. Tap on ‘Add music to your profile’.
3. Search for your favorite song or explore the ‘For You’ section.
4. Choose the song you want and select the clip duration for your profile, with the option of 30 seconds.
While the profile song feature is currently available on all consumer and creator accounts on Instagram for Android, it is not yet accessible on the iOS app. Instagram continues to introduce new media-related features, like the multi-audio tracks option introduced in July. Users can add up to 20 tracks to a single Instagram Reel, align the audio with text, and edit the reel with stickers and clips. The app also offers a fade effect and the ability to overlap audio clips, with proper attribution to the creator of the content.
Overall, Instagram’s new profile song feature adds a fun and creative element to user profiles, allowing individuals to showcase their personalities through music. The collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter and the extensive library of songs provide users with a wide range of options to customize their profiles. As Instagram continues to innovate and introduce new features, users can look forward to more ways to express themselves and connect with others through the platform’s engaging tools.
