How to Save Music on Instagram?
If you have ever encountered a reel that plays audio that you really enjoy or wish to use in your own reel, you can easily save the music by following these straightforward steps:
- Check out your Instagram reel.
- There should be a small image-filled box in the bottom-right corner.
- Tap on this box.
- The name of the audio, the user name of the person who used the music, and other reels that have used the same music will be displayed on a new screen after the one you were on previously.
- Tap on the “Save Audio” option, and voila! You should save your audio.
You can view the saved audio with the following steps:
- Navigate to your Instagram story.
- Select the “Music” option.
- Tap on the “Saved” option.
- Your entire collection of saved music should be listed.
How to Find Saved Music on Instagram?
Finding saved audio on Instagram is really easy, just follow the steps below:
- In your Instagram app, click on your profile tab (bottom-right)
- Tap the menu button (upper-right) and select ‘Saved’
- You can access all of your saved music by opening the “Audio” folder.
How to Add Saved Music to Your Instagram Reels?
Once an audio track has been saved, you can use it in your own Instagram Reel.
- Tap Add (+) > Reel.
- Tap the Music Note.

- If you want to add audio, tap it. Tap Play to listen before you choose.

How to Save and Add Music to Your Instagram Business Account?
Since music is one of the most frequently pirated media content categories, you are unable to use recorded music on your Instagram business account for copyright compliance reasons. Because only business accounts have this issue, finding a workaround is not too difficult.
Only personal and business profiles were available on Instagram for a while. The creator profile is the newest feature of the platform, and it provides all of the same features as a business profile in addition to the simplicity of saving and using music.
To switch to a creator profile (whether your profile is currently personal or business):
- Open the Instagram app
- Go to your profile tab
- Tap the menu button in the upper right corner of your Instagram profile
- Tap ‘Settings’
- Select ‘Account’ from the menu
- Scroll down to ‘Switch Account Type’
- Select “creator account.”
There are three more ways that will allow you to add music to an Instagram Business account:
1. Utilize the authentic music shared by other Instagram accounts. The artist and song title are usually replaced with “Original Audio” in the lower-left corner of business profiles.
2. Switch your profile category to ‘entrepreneur’:
- Open your Instagram account
- Tap on ‘Edit profile’
- Edit your profile category so that it says ‘entrepreneur’
3. The option to hide the profile category is also available. By turning off the category label in the “Profile Display” section, you can make it disappear. People won’t be able to tell what you do if you hide the profile category because it will be removed from your profile bio.
Even though you won’t have labels on your business Instagram account, some people might still be perplexed by this. On the plus side, you can continue to use Instagram music.
How to Share Music on Instagram?
You can share an audio track in a direct message or another app after saving it.
- To send the audio in a direct message, tap Share (the paper airplane), then tap Send next to the person you want to share it with.
- To share the audio in another app, tap the three dots, then tap Copy Link and paste it into the other app.
