Instagram has rolled out an exciting update for its users with the "Instagram Rolls Out New Feature" of adding a 30-second song clip to their profile bios. Starting today, Instagram fans can choose a track from the platform's music library – the same one used for reels and posts – and showcase it in their bio under a new section titled "Taste." This song will stay on the user's profile until they opt for a different track or remove it altogether.

This collaboration gives Carpenters fans an exclusive preview of her music, boosting fan interaction and utilizing the Instagram platform to create excitement, around her album launch.
Instagram has taken a step, beyond just music by introducing updates to its Notes feature that allow for changes. Users can now see a hue when they use words like "Demure," "Cutesy," "Considerate" and "Mindful" in their Notes. The shade of pink may vary based on the device's screen quality often appearing more off-white than a vibrant pink.
This isn't the first time Instagram has played around with note colour changes. Previously they introduced gold notes triggered by keywords but this feature was removed due to feedback and operational adjustments.
Here's a quick guide on adding a song to your Instagram profile;
1. Go to your profile and click on "edit profile."
2. Find the new "Taste" section and click to add a song.
3. Browse through Instagram's library of licensed music.
4. Choose your song and pick a 30-second snippet that captures your vibe.
5. Save your changes and the song will be visible on your profile for visitors to see and listen to.
Instagram's decision to add music to profiles marks a step forward in its transformation, into a captivating and tailored social media platform. This feature not only empowers users to showcase their personalities through music but also enriches the user experience by adding an element of creativity and distinctiveness to profiles.
With a focus on innovation and introducing features, Instagram is dedicated to fostering user engagement and satisfaction. By incorporating music for self-expression and dynamic elements like colour-changing notes the platform solidifies its status as a frontrunner in the ever-evolving social media landscape adapting to user preferences and advancements.
