Instagram's new update lets users add 30-second song snippets to profiles and personalize Notes with color using keywords like "demure" or "mindful.

Instagram has expanded its music integration features, enabling users to add a 30-second song snippet directly to their profiles. Previously limited to sharing music through posts and Reels, users can now showcase their favorite tunes right on their bios, adding a personalized soundtrack to their online presence.

The process of adding music is simple and intuitive. Head to the “edit profile” page, where you’ll find the option to select a song from Instagram’s vast music library. Choose a track that resonates with you and pick a 30-second segment that captures the essence of your current mood or personality. Your chosen song will appear in a dedicated “Taste” section on your profile, inviting visitors to experience your musical preferences firsthand. The feature also offers flexibility; you can update or remove the song at any time, ensuring your profile always reflects your evolving tastes.

To celebrate the launch of this feature, Instagram has teamed up with singer Sabrina Carpenter, who is using her profile to offer an exclusive preview of an unreleased song from her upcoming album. This collaboration showcases the potential for artists to connect with fans and create buzz around new music directly on the platform.

Colorful Notes: A Subtle Touch of Expression

Instagram hasn’t stopped at music – the platform has also introduced a subtle yet engaging update to its Notes feature. By incorporating specific keywords like “Demure,” “Cutesy,” “Considerate,” and “Mindful” into your notes, you can trigger a color change to a soft pink hue. While the exact shade may vary depending on your device’s display, this feature adds a touch of visual flair and personality to your notes.

The Future of Self-Expression on Instagram

These latest updates highlight Instagram’s dedication to empowering users with creative tools for self-expression. The ability to add music to profiles and personalize notes with color demonstrates the platform’s evolving nature and commitment to staying ahead of the curve. As Instagram continues to innovate, we can anticipate even more exciting features and possibilities for users to connect and share their unique perspectives with the world.
