How to use the Saved Music feature on Instagram Reels & Story?

There’s a new Saved music feature on Instagram.

It allows you to save your favorite songs and audio so you don’t have to look for them all the time.

It’s like an Audio Library or a Playlist that you can create.

This feature is awesome if you want to use the songs you hear when you’re watching other people’s Reels, or you like using the same songs to keep the same vibes in your videos.

You might have seen this new feature in your Instagram Reels already, but you might not be too sure how to use it.

You can see this new Saved folder under the Music option:

But at the moment you can’t save a song straight from the Music feature itself.

You have to use another way to create your own Saved music folder.

Here’s how to use the Saved music feature:

1. Find a Reel with a Song you like

First, find someone’s Reels with a song you like.

It doesn’t have to be an actual song. It can be someone’s original audio. Or an audio they found on TikTok or recorded themselves.

2. Press on the Song Title

Then, press on the song title at the bottom of the screen.

This will open up the song’s page.

3. Press on the Save button to save the music

This is how to use the Saved music feature.

All you have to do is tap on the save button (the bookmark).

Once you press this, the song / audio will be automatically added to your Instagram Music Playlist.

4. Open your Reels editor and press on the Music feature

Ok, how to use the saved music now?

1. Just open your Instagram Reels editor (via your Insta Story screen)
2. Press on the Music button to select your music

5. Press Saved option

Once you have open the Music feature:

1. You will see the Saved folder
2. Press on it
3. Choose one of the songs you saved

Done!

Record or upload your Instagram Reels, and you’re good to go.

How to Unsave a song?

At the moment we can’t unsave a song from the Music feature in Reels.

The only way to unsave a song or an audio is by doing the exact same steps again:

1. Open someone’s Reels with this song again
2. Tap on the song title at the bottom of the screen
3. Un-select the Save / Bookmark button

The song will be removed from your Saved music feature.

That’s it!

Now you know how to use the Saved music feature!

Have fun saving your music and creating content.
