Instagram has introduced a thrilling new feature aimed at adding a more personalized touch to user profiles. This latest addition, referred to as 'profile song,' allows individuals to select a specific song that resonates with their emotions or preferences. A rich selection of licensed tracks is available for users to choose from. To launch this initiative, Instagram has teamed up with the accomplished singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter.
A recent announcement on X (formerly Twitter) by Instagram introduced the profile song feature. The selected song will appear directly beneath the user's bio. According to the platform, the track will not play automatically; it can be activated by clicking the music icon. However, doing so will provide only a 30-second preview of the song.
Sabrina Carpenter is at the forefront of this feature's introduction, contributing a brief snippet of her song “Taste,” which is part of an upcoming album expected to drop on Friday. Users can keep this song on their profile until they opt to change it. The profile song functionality is accessible to all user accounts, including both consumer and creator accounts. To get started:
Staff members from Gadgets 360 confirmed the feature's availability on Instagram for Android devices, although it was not found on the iOS platform at that moment.
This new addition enhances the array of media-oriented features that Instagram has been introducing in recent months. Back in July, the platform launched a multi-audio tracks option, allowing users to incorporate up to 20 different tracks into a single Instagram Reel. They also have the ability to synchronize the audio with text and embellish the Reel with stickers, clips, and other elements. The application can produce fade effects and offers users the option to layer audio tracks as well.
The generated mix will be saved with credit given to the original creator. In this way, not only can the creators use their own mixes, but other users will also have the opportunity to incorporate these blended tracks into their content.
