What Is Instagram’s Music in Feed Feature?

According to Instagram, the Music in Feed feature will “provide creators with more tools to bring their content to life.” 

Knowing that music is already frequently used to complement Stories and Reels, this new feature is a logical move for Instagram.

With it, creators and users alike can get creative and add a whole new layer of storytelling to their posts.

We're here for it.
