INSTAGRAM IS TESTING SONGS IN PHOTO CAROUSELS

Instagram is testing a new feature that will let you add songs to the photo carousels that you post. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the news on his Instagram broadcast channel, noting that it’s already available in a “few countries with more to come.” While Instagram already has a similar feature that lets you add songs to individual photos, it makes more sense to add to a carousel of pictures. Instead of listening to a music clip while looking at a single photo, you now have more time to listen to the song as you swipe through multiple photos in a carousel. Aside from that, Zuckerberg also mentioned that Instagram is testing a way to add music to Notes, the AIM-like feature that lets you share a status with friends. In a video posted to Zuckerberg’s channel, you can see how the platform will let you select and attach a portion of a song to your Note, much like you would add music to an individual post or Reel. Your friends will be able to see the name of the song and the artist above your status.
