Instagram Adds Music to Carousel Posts, Revitalizing Photo Sharing

  • Instagram introduces background music for carousel posts, enhancing photo sharing.
  • The feature adds an immersive audio layer without converting posts into video formats like Reels.
  • Music plays when followers open the post or swipe through the multiple images.
  • Users can easily add music from Instagram's library after selecting at least two photos for a carousel.
  • Aims to boost relevance of photo-based content in a video-dominated feed, benefiting users and creators.

Why It Matters: Instagram enhances photo carousels with music, making static posts more engaging in a video-centric world.
