What is the new Music sticker?

You can create a great mood for your Instagram picture or video by adding a good background music to it. or you can just let your followers hear the trending jam that caught you all over.

You can finally further liven up your stories by uploading soundtracks and music to your stories. The greatest thing is you don’t have to upload them from your phone, so basically you don’t need to have them on your phone!

You can search for a specific song or artist, or browse by genre, mood, and what’s popular. And after you choose the track, you can fast-forward or rewind to find the exact part that you have in mind for your story. Attaching music to your stories is as easy as adding a sticker. You can choose a background track to your stories before or after recording a video. When your followers watch your stories; they can hear the song playing and see a sticker that shows the title and the name of the artist to find out exactly what they are listening to.
