Instagram, the meta-photo sharing app, allows users to add a 30-second audio or song clip to their profile that visitors can listen to when they visit your grid.
Users can select a song from Instagram’s large music library and choose a clip from it to appear on their profile, right below their text bio.
Instagram’s new feature reminds older internet users of the days when classic social media platform MySpace allowed users to share their favorite music on a profile. Microblogging site Tumblr also offers a similar feature.
Instagram’s new Song in Profile feature was introduced in collaboration with singer Sabrina Carpenter.
