Make Reels So Attractive? Check Out How To Add Music Via Instagram's Audio Tab

JAKARTA - Instagram recently launched Reels, which aims to be a platform to express yourself in other ways. In creating Reels content, users have to embed songs to make it more interesting.

Instagram added an Audio tab to make it easier for users to search for songs and then pin them on Reels. This Facebook-owned app has dedicated an entire search tab to audio content, making it easy for content creators to find the perfect song or audio content for their Instagram content.

Following the success of Reel and Instagram Stories due to their audio-visual nature, Instagram has added a tab for searching and finding audio tracks on the Explore page. Here are some ways to use the Audio feature on Instagram, quoted from Make Us Of, Thursday, September 16.

Find Favorite Songs for Reels Via Instagram's Audio Tab

A new audio search tool allows content creators to search for songs and audio within the Instagram app using keywords. When the user taps on a song, Instagram will display a list of Reels that have sampled the song.

This can help them decide if the song is a good fit for the type of reels they want to include. It also allows content creators to see trending Reels using the song.

This feature also gives content creators the opportunity to get Reels seen by a wider audience if they decide to follow the trend by using the song at the same time.

In July, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said in a video that the platform was no longer a video-sharing app, and Instagram was working to improve the app with more diverse features.

The new Audio search tool is just another way for Instagram to make it easier for content creators and users to create content with music. At the same time improving its Reels feature as well. For example, last May, Instagram began providing insights for Reel and Live content in an effort to help content creators get the most out of the app.

How to Search for Audio on Instagram

Using Instagram's Audio search tab is as easy as searching for anything else on Instagram. This feature is similar to TikTok's Audio tab, which could indicate that Instagram is trying to win over the short video market that TikTok has developed so well before.

Follow the steps below to start using the Audio tab to find your favorite tracks:

Open the Instagram app. Tap the search icon at the bottom left of the screen. Tap the search bar at the top of the screen. This will open a search page with different tabs as before, with the Top tab selected automatically. Now select the Audio tab between Accounts and Tags. Finally, type in the name of the song or artist and select the one you are looking for from the list provided.
