Instagram Music now in the Netherlands: that’s how you use it

For years, Instagram users in many countries have been able to put music under their Stories, but if you want to listen to it in the Netherlands, you only got a message that this function was not yet available in the Netherlands.

This has now changed now that the position has also been rolled out in the Netherlands. It also means that you can now also enrich your own Stories with matching background music. This works as follows.

Instagram Music: This is how you give your Stories a matching soundtrack

This is how you use Instagram Music in the Netherlands:

  1. Update the Instagram app to the latest version;
  2. Open Instagram and swipe from left to right on the screen;
  3. Take a photo or record a video;
  4. Swipe up and choose ‘Music’;
  5. Use the search bar to choose a song.

Once you have chosen a song, a new screen will appear in which you can choose exactly the fragment that will be placed under your story. With the buttons above the slider you can choose ways in which the lyrics of the song appear on screen.

You can also turn off these lyrics if you are purely concerned with the sound. You can choose from a huge library of artists and albums. When someone views your Story, he or she can see which music you have chosen.

Instagram continues to regularly expand its app with new features. For example, you can now also invite friends for a group conversation with a Story and it is possible to only share it with your best friends. Do you use Instagram too often? Then you can also set a time limit, so that the app is automatically locked if you exceed this limit.
