Instagram is taking a nostalgic step back to the early 2000s, introducing a new feature that allows users to add music to their profiles, reminiscent of the popular MySpace days. Additionally, Instagram has partnered with pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter to introduce a unique color-changing notes feature that combines retro vibes with modern creativity.
Music is coming back: How to add a song to your Instagram profile
Instagram’s latest feature is a nod to the MySpace era, when users could personalize their profile with a favorite song. While the music won’t play automatically like it did in MySpace days, it will be prominently displayed in the bio section of the user’s profile, giving the profile a personal touch that exudes both nostalgia and individuality.
How to add music to your Instagram profile:
- Go to “Edit Profile”: First, navigate to your profile page and tap the “Edit Profile” button.
- Choose your title: In the editing menu, look for the option to add a song. From here, you can browse Instagram’s extensive library of licensed music, which includes tracks available for reels and posts.
- Choose your clip: Select a 30-second clip of the song you want to feature. This snippet will appear on your profile, allowing visitors to play or pause the track at will.
- Save and share: Once you’ve chosen your song and the perfect clip, save your changes. Your profile will now feature the song, giving your Instagram presence a personalized soundtrack.
Sabrina Carpenter’s exclusive collaboration: A musical treat
Instagram has teamed up with pop star Sabrina Carpenter to introduce this exciting feature. Carpenter’s latest hit “Espresso” has already made waves as a summer anthem, and now her fans can get an exclusive preview of her unreleased track “Test” directly on her Instagram profile. This track is only available through the profile music feature, making it a must-listen for her followers.
Color-changing notes: Easter eggs for Carpenter fans
Instagram hasn’t limited itself to music; they’ve also introduced a playful new update to their Notes feature, which allows users to share short thoughts or updates in the Direct Messages (DM) section. With this update, certain keywords associated with Sabrina Carpenter will trigger a color change in the notes, turning them baby blue with a kissy face emoji 💋.
Here’s how to make your Instagram notes baby blue:
- Use these carpentry related keywords:
- “Sabrina” or “Sabrina Carpenter”
- “short and sweet”
- “please, please, please”
- “Espresso” ☕️
- “Sabah”
- Lyrics like “I work long hours because I’m a singer”, “The dream has come true for you” or “Brand new for you”
When you type any of these phrases or use the kissy face emoji 💋 in your notes, they will automatically change color to baby blue, creating a visually striking effect that will stand out in your followers’ feeds.
Carpenter-Themed Chat Topics: A Visual Treat
In addition to the color-changing notes, Instagram has introduced a new chat theme inspired by the album cover of Sabrina Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet.” The theme features a lipstick kiss design and offers users a fun and thematic way to personalize their direct messages.
Conclusion: A fusion of old and new
