Instagram Introduces ‘Song on Profile’ Feature Inspired by Myspace

Instagram Introduces Profile Music Feature

In an exciting development for social media enthusiasts, Instagram has announced a new feature that allows users to add a song to their profile. This brings back a touch of nostalgia, reminiscent of Myspace’s heyday in the early 2000s.

How the Feature Works

The music selected by the user will appear in the bio section of their profile. However, unlike Myspace, where songs auto-played upon visiting a profile, Instagram's implementation allows users to play and pause the track at their discretion. This way, visitors can enjoy the music without it being intrusive.

Steps to Add a Song

1. Go to the Edit Profile section.
2. Search for your favorite track from Instagram’s extensive library of licensed music, which is also available for Reels and posts.
3. Select a 30-second clip of the song that you wish to feature on your profile.

Featured Artist: Sabrina Carpenter

To launch this exciting feature, Instagram has collaborated with pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter. Her catchy hit "Espresso" has dominated airwaves this summer, making her the perfect artist to debut this feature. Starting today, Carpenter's profile will showcase a teaser from her yet-to-be-released song, “Taste,” leading up to her album's release this Friday.

Interactive Features and Themes

Instagram is also introducing several fun Easter eggs related to Carpenter's new album, Short n’ Sweet. Users can engage with the feature by incorporating keywords like "Sabrina" or even use the coffee cup emoji, which will temporarily change the color of Notes messages to light blue. Additionally, there's a unique chat theme designed with lipstick kisses to enhance user interaction.

Conclusion

This innovative addition to Instagram’s features signifies the platform’s intent to further personalize user experiences and provide a more engaging environment. Expect to see profiles filled with tunes that express individuality and creativity.
