The rumour surrounding the new feature first emerged after TechCrunch did some digging and spotted some code hidden in the Android version of the app, which could give users the ability to add music stickers. The website revealed, these 'music stickers' could allow users to search for songs and add them to your Stories. Which could really improve Stories!
Now, just a few weeks later it seems that the rumours have come true and now, those with the latest version of the app can add music to their Instagram Stories, here's how...
1) Go as if you were going to add to your Story in the usual way.
2) Tap on the stickers icon and find the 'music sticker'.
3) Search for the track you want to add, you can search popular songs, moods, and genres.
4) Once you have selected a song you can then choose a particular part of it, whether you want the chorus, or a verse etc.
Another feature which has also been added to the popular image sharing app, is the ability to add music while you're recording the video. So, still in the Stories mode you can swipe to the left to the 'music' mode, there you can select a song which will play while you record video for your Story. Easy as that!
Here's how you can follow all of the new Love Island contestants on Instagram, find out their Instagram handles below.
