It's only been a few days since Meta announced the new feature, but many users have been complaining on social media about their Instagram Notes music not working.

The inability to add music to Instagram Notes has left many users feeling disappointed. There could be various reasons behind it, but we are just guessing here since there is no official update on the situation from Meta.

Why is Instagram Notes music not working?

If Instagram Notes music not working for you, there could be various reasons for this.

One reason some users may face challenges when adding music to their Notes is that the feature is not available everywhere.

Currently, Instagram Notes is only accessible in Europe, Japan, and most users in the United States. If you're outside these regions, you might not have access to the music option in Instagram Notes.

But if you are a resident in one of these regions, there are two more things to look out for.

Your Instagram is not updated

Another possible cause for the music not working in your Notes could be using an older version of the Instagram app. It's essential to keep your app updated to the latest version, as newer updates may introduce the music feature. Updating the app might enable you to add music to your Instagram Notes.

You may update your Instagram via the link below.

You do not have a stable internet connection

Sometimes, the absence of a stable internet connection can interfere with the music feature in Instagram Notes. If your internet connection is weak or unreliable, it can result in delays when loading and playing music.

To address this, check your internet connection and ensure it is stable before attempting to add music to your Notes. You may use Speedtest by Ookla for this.

Many frustrated Instagram users have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment with the non-functional music feature in Notes, Just like Twitter user @amaniimarie.

At the time of writing, Instagram has not yet responded or commented on the issue. This lack of official acknowledgment leaves users seeking individual solutions.

But if you are among the lucky user who got their music feature working just fine, here is how to add music to Instagram Notes.

    Uhh, this has already been possible – I am not sure how but remember my brother telling me about it. I’m not a whatsapp user so not sure of the specifics, but something about sending the image as a file and somehow bypassing the default compression settings that are applied to inbound photos.

    He has also used this to share movies to whatsapp groups, and files 1Gb+.

    Like I said, I never used whatsapp, but I know 100% this isn’t a “brand new feature”, my brother literally showed me him doing it, like… 5 months ago?

    Martin, what happened to those: 12 Comments (https://www.ghacks.net/chatgpt-gets-schooled-by-princeton-university/#comments). Is there a specific justifiable reason why they were deleted?

    Hmm, it looks like the gHacks website database is faulty, and not populating threads with their relevant cosponsoring posts.

    The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk that it’s about to be deleted from my ‘daily reads’.

    It’s really like “Press Release as re-written by some d*ck for clicks…poorly.” And the subjects are laughable. Can’t wait for “How to search for files on Windows”.

      > The page on ghacks this is on represents the best of why it has become so worthless, fill of click-bait junk…

      Sadly, I have to agree.

      Only Martin and Ashwin are worth subscribing to.
      Especially Emre Çitak and Shaun are the worst ones.

      If ghacks.net intended “Clickbait”, it would mark the end of Ghacks Technology News.
      Ghacks doesn’t need crappy clickbaits. Clearly separate articles from newer authors (perhaps AIs and external sales person or external advertising man) as just “Advertisements”!

      We, the subscribers of Ghacks, urge Martin to make a decision.

    How hard can it be to clone a twitter version of that as well? They’re slow.

    Yes, why not mention how large the HD files can be?
    Why, not mention what version of WhatsApp is needed?
    These omissions make the article feel so bare. If not complete.

    I don’t know what’s going on here at Ghacks but it’s obvious that something is broken, comments are being mixed whatever the article, I am unable to find some of my later posts neither. :S

    Quoting the article,
    “As users gain popularity, the value of their tokens may increase, allowing investors to reap rewards.”

    Besides, beyond the thrill and privacy risks or not, the point is to know how you gain popularity, be it on social sites as everywhere in life. Is it by being authentic, by remaining faithful to ourselves or is it to have this particular skill which is to understand what a majority likes, just like politicians, those who’d deny to the maximum extent compatible with their ideological partnership, in order to grab as many of the voters they can?

    I see the very concept of this Friend.tech as unhealthy, propagating what is already an increasing flaw : the quest for fame. I won’t be the only one to count himself out, definitely.

      @John G. is right : my comment was posted on [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/23/what-is-friend-tech/] and it appears there but as well here at [https://www.ghacks.net/2023/07/08/how-to-follow-everyone-on-threads/]

      This has been lasting for several days. Fix it or at least provide some explanations if you don’t mind.

    Firefox did this long before Safari.
