San Francisco, California (UNA) :

Instagram has rolled out a new feature that allows users to add music tracks to carousel posts those sets of multiple photos or short videos you swipe through. Instead of posting silent image collections, people can now pair them with music that fits the mood, occasion or theme of their content.

This update means everyday users can make their posts more expressive and personalised. Whether you’re sharing a travel album, birthday moments, a day out with friends, or festival snapshots, adding a soundtrack can help set the tone and draw more attention from followers.

The feature works by letting users select a song from Instagram’s music library before publishing their carousel. Once added, the track will play automatically as people browse through the photos and clips. Users can trim the music to match specific parts of the post, giving more creative flexibility without needing separate editing apps.

For many Instagram users including students, families and small businesses the new capability makes storytelling easier and more emotional. Photos accompanied by music often feel more memorable, helping posts stand out in feeds crowded with visual content.

Instagram says it’s introducing this feature to help users stay creative and enjoy the platform in fresh ways. As short-form and dynamic posts become more popular, adding music to carousels aligns with trends where sound plays an important role in engagement.

If you’ve ever felt your photo updates needed a soundtrack, this new tool gives a simple, in-app way to bring memories to life. It’s especially handy around holidays, celebrations and personal milestones, where music adds context and connection for those who view your posts.
