You have been obsessed with a song for several days and you wish you could share it with your friends. Did you know that it is now possible to integrate any song from Apple Music into an Instagram story? No problem, that's the topic of the day..
Enrich your story with a nice soundtrack
We all had fun one day adding music to a story from our smartphone. Unfortunately, until now, the musical sources available on Instagram have been rather limited. With the latest iOS update, you can now tap into the huge catalog of Apple Music.
If you subscribe to the Apple firm's streaming service, why not take this opportunity to bring your stories to life on Instagram. Filters, beautiful photos and stickers are good but with a nice soundtrack it's even better..
Music softens manners but it also creates engagement on social networks. This will generate emotions and make your subscribers want to react, like or give their opinions. You still need to know how to add music to a story.
For the moment, the functionality described in this tutorial remains only available on the iPhone. But that's not all. It is also essential to install the latest version of iOS. Apart from these few restrictions, the integration of Apple Music on Instagram works very well..
Insert a song in a story
The music feature of Instagram stories is not new. However, until now, it was not possible to add an Apple Music song to a story. We are now going to see how to make your posts on Instagram very entertaining.
- Open the Apple Music app on your iPhone
- Select the song you want for your story
- Start the music
- Tap the 3 dots and select the share option
- Click on the Instagram icon in the long list of applications
- If it does not appear, scroll down to the bottom of the window
- Click on the More buttons
- Once the operation is complete, the Instagram Story Editor will appear on your iPhone screen
- Start creating your story (background colors, stickers etc.) as you usually do
- Click the send button
Please note, the song will not launch automatically when the story opens. On the other hand, by clicking on the album cover, your friends can discover the song on the Apple Music application on their iPhone.
Note that other streaming services offer an equivalent system. This is the case for example of Spotify, Pandora or Shazam. The Apple Music sharing system also works great with Facebook.
We just regret that the music does not start when the story opens as it is already the case with the music function integrated by default in Instagram. We must therefore be satisfied with this limited version. However, it can be very useful for sharing your musical favorites with your subscribers.
