Instagram now rolling out option to add song lyrics to your Reels،
Instagram recently doubled down on its “Reels” strategy by launching new features that will hopefully encourage users to use them more often. The last of these features is the ability to add song lyrics while editing, as you already can on “Stories”.
New Feature Alert We’re rolling out a way to add song lyrics when editing your Reels, just like you can do on Stories: tap , add a song, and swipe left to add lyrics. We’ve seen people manually adding lyrics to Reels, so I hope this makes it easier to use music to express yourself. Working on more updates to get creative on reels, stay tuned. – Adam Mosseri via the IG Updates channel on Instagram
Song Lyrics on Instagram Reels (Sour
Instagram)
To add song lyrics when editing your Instagram Reels, tap the Music button, add a song, then swipe left to add the lyrics to the song you added. The steps seem simple and straightforward enough that anyone can follow them.
The ability to add song lyrics has been available on Instagram Stories for a while now, so it’s unclear why it took so long to bring this same feature to Reels. For those who don’t know, Reels differ from Instagram Stories in that Reels are public, while Stories are only shown to your followers.
We can expect more from Instagram when it comes to Reels, as promised by the company in the last update. New features are expected to follow in the coming weeks, such as the ability to automatically add text and transitions that were used in a previous reel.
