Right this moment, Meta has rolled out a brand new choice to add music tracks to your Instagram Notes, offering one other strategy to interact through the 6-month outdated Tales-like DM choice.

As you possibly can see on this instance, now, you’ll have the ability to embody a music in your Notice, which can then be highlighted to customers within the Notes shelf on the prime of their inbox. To allow them to then faucet via and take heed to it.

Although why they’d need to, I’m not fully positive. Perhaps should you had been sharing a brand new observe with your mates, or seeking to spotlight a band you realize, or your individual music. I don’t know, I don’t see numerous enhancement worth in attempting to get individuals to take heed to your favourite observe of the second, MySpace-style, however possibly there’s a use case and worth that I’m not seeing, which can make it a very good addition.

However as famous, it does really feel like one other effort to chase the TikTok dragon. TikTok has develop into a key distribution channel for the newest music traits, and has develop into an enormous focus for document labels and publishers in consequence. TikTok’s culture-shifting energy is what performs probably the most vital function inside this, and it appears like IG is simply attempting to latch onto the identical. Like ‘we do music too, see’. That kind of factor.

Then once more, Notes, normally, doesn’t appear to be a significant engagement winner within the app, although Instagram boss Adam Mosseri has repeatedly famous (see what I did there) that it’s doing nicely in his weekly Q and A Tales.

And now you can also make individuals take heed to your favourite observe of the second through the choice.

Which is cool? I don’t know.
