There are many options, including Apple Music and Spotify. Follow the instructions below to find out more. However, you may also find it easier to simply choose a song from your phone&#8217;s library. There&#8217;s no need to worry about formatting your story, though. Follow these steps to include music in your Instagram stories and get started!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_Music\"><\/span>Apple Music<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It may sound impossible but there are ways to make Apple Music work with Instagram stories. First, make sure that the Instagram stories feature is enabled for your region. If it is, then the following steps should work. If not, then try restarting your device. You can refer to Apple&#8217;s Knowledge Base article for more information. Also, you can restart your Android device by holding down the Power button and then selecting &#8220;Restart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To make Apple Music play on your Instagram stories, try searching for &#8220;Apple Music.&#8221; You&#8217;ll find a sticker that looks like a square smiley face with a bent corner. If you can&#8217;t find it, you can search for &#8220;music&#8221; in the search bar and click on the sticker. If you still cannot see it, reinstall the Instagram app. The update may fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>While Pandora and Spotify have their own apps that let you share music with your Instagram stories, Apple Music doesn&#8217;t have the feature. Besides, Facebook&#8217;s Messenger doesn&#8217;t allow users to add music. But that&#8217;s changing as well. The latest update from Facebook has made music sharing easier. But before you do this, make sure you have the latest iOS version on your iPhone. If you have a compatible iOS device, the process should be seamless.<\/p>\n<p>While sharing music on Instagram Stories may be a hassle, there are ways to fix the problem. First, you can add music using a music sticker. Instagram has a built-in music sticker that lets you add music to stories. The sticker is easy to use, but you need to know where to find it. Go to your profile and tap the story icon. If you don&#8217;t see the story icon, tap the plus sign in the upper right corner. Next, tap the story icon to open the camera screen. Once you&#8217;re there, type the song name into the search bar to find it.<\/p>\n<p>To add music to your Instagram story, you must be using the Apple Music app. To use the music sticker, go to the Music tab and tap the letter button. This will open a music player. Next, select the font you want to use. You can also choose the size of the sticker. After that, double tap the sticker to change its location on your story. It&#8217;s now time to publish the story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spotify\"><\/span>Spotify<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are on Spotify, you may be wondering how you can add your favorite music to your Instagram stories. The good news is that Spotify offers this feature, as well as others. To share a song, open the Spotify app and select the song you&#8217;d like to include. Next, tap the three dots on the lower right corner of the screen, and then select &#8220;Share.&#8221; From there, you can choose which social media platforms you&#8217;d like to share the song with.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather share a video instead of a song, you can use the Spotify sharing feature. The app has an icon that lets you share songs and videos directly to IG stories. The icon looks similar to a camera and can be tapped from within the Instagram app. However, the link to share your song is only visible to users of the Spotify mobile application. It&#8217;s important to note that Spotify is not available for Instagram stories on iOS and Android devices.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve added the music to your Instagram stories, you can start creating your story. To add music, simply select a song from the music library on your phone. If you don&#8217;t have a Spotify account, you can access your music through Apple Music or other music streaming apps. Once you&#8217;ve added the music, you can then film your story while the song plays. Once the video has been saved, you can edit the video to add more music.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re on Spotify, however, you can share your music on Instagram stories. First, open the Spotify mobile app and open a song in full screen mode. Next, tap the Share button. From here, select Instagram from the menu. Select the &#8216;Share To&#8217; button. Then, select your story, and you&#8217;ll see a share menu. If you don&#8217;t have a Spotify account, you can still add your music to Instagram stories.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j3ITPJuDtI0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"243\" width=\"435\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Include Music in Your Instagram Stories If you&#8217;re looking for a way to include music in your Instagram stories, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
