Instagram adds tool to change music on published posts
6 reported
Instagram announced on Tuesday that users can now swap out the music on their published feed posts and carousels using a newly launched “Replace Audio” tool. Previously, users could only change the music on a post by deleting it and then re-uploading it. The Meta-owned company says the new feature is another step in its efforts to build tools that give creators more creative control over their content. The update removes a limitation that forced creators and brands to choose between keeping a post’s engagement and updating its soundtrack. The feature is accessed by navigating to the post, tapping the two-line menu in the top-right corner, scrolling down to “Edit,” and then selecting the option to swap out the audio. Instagram recently killed a feature that allowed users to modify photos from public accounts using AI, which the company said “missed the mark.” In May, the company released a feature called “Instants” that led to many users accidentally sending images to everyone in their Friends list.
