Instagram music not available issue:
It was back in June last year, Instagram announced a new feature for its users. The new functionality allowed users to add a soundtrack to their Instagram story. Here’s how the Facebook-owned company explained the feature in their official announcement:
The feature also lets you choose a song before capturing a video. All you have to do is to launch the camera app on your device, then under the record button, swipe to access the newly-added ‘Music’ option. The next steps involve searching for a song, selecting the part you like, and finally recording a video with the part of song you selected playing in the background.
Given that hundreds of millions of Instagram users use the Story feature, the new functionality to add a song to Stories was welcomed with open arms. There was, however, a caveat: this new feature wasn’t available worldwide initially. Here’s what the Instagram announcement said about it:
It’s been close to three quarters since the feature was launched, but not all Instagram users are able to access it. There have been complaints regarding this all along, with some complainants saying one of their or their family member’s account has the feature, but other doesn’t.
If you have a “business” account, try to switch to a “creator” Account. Logout and Login back to Instagram account. You will see many options for the music collection and probably the right songs will load in the creator account. Please note some Instagram users have to wait for 1-2 days after swithich to creator account
