How can you add music to your Reels videos?
When you are going to make a Reel you must take into account that music is of great importance in it, however, you can take into account that you can use the original audio of the video , or replace it with a fragment of song, the song you choose applies to all video.
In order to add music to your Reels, you must take into account the following: go to the stories and then to the Reels option, after this, touch where the musical note appears .
Select the song you want to add to your Reel, and finally, choose the fragment that you like the most and that’s it, so you’ll already have music on your Reel. In addition, you can also download the Reel in your gallery .
What can you do if your Instagram app doesn’t show the music icon?
It is possible that several users when wanting to use Instagram music, either from the Stories or from the Reels, have not achieved this sound option . In order to solve this problem we can do the following.
First, check if your Instagram application has the latest update, this is of great importance, since if the app has not been updated you will not be able to enjoy the new tools that Instagram has.
To update it, you just have to go to Google Play on Android, once there go to ‘my applications’, then click on the ‘Update’ button on Instagram.
If you have an iPhone, go to the App Store, click on your profile icon and then scroll to see the pending updates there, look for the Instagram one and click update and that’s it. If you do, you will surely be able to see the drafts of your Reels to modify them in case you want to change something.
Another way to solve this problem is to delete the Instagram cache . To do this, go to settings or configuration on your mobile, click on the ‘Applications’ option, then search for the Instagram app and click on the icon.
Next, go to the storage and cache window, click on clear cache and confirm so that the action can be carried out. At the end go back to the main settings page and click on ‘force close or stop’.
Finally, if none of the above options work, and it does not allow you to add music to your Instagram, uninstall the application and reinstall it again, so all the data will be deleted and your account will be closed, and when you log in again the problems will have been solved.
