Meta has announced that people on Instagram can now add lyrics for songs to Reels on Instagram. The ability to add lyrics to content was already available on the social media platform but it was limited to Stories. Today, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned company is expanding the feature to Reels as well.
The latest announcement was made by the company on the IG Updates broadcast channel on Instagram, which says “New feature alert. We’re rolling out a way to add song lyrics when editing your reels, just like you can on Stories: tap, add a song, and swipe left to add lyrics. We’ve seen people manually add lyrics to reels, so hope this makes it easier to use music to express yourself. Working on more updates to get creative on reels, stay tuned.”
How to add song lyrics to Instagram Reels?
To add lyrics to your Reels, tap on the music icon, select the song you want, and swipe left on the screen. Voila, you will now be able to see the lyrics of that song in your Reel. According to the company, this feature was inspired by people who were manually adding lyrics to Reels. We wonder what took the company so long to bring this feature to Reels when it was already available for Stories.
The new feature will give Reels more traction on the Internet, helping Instagram to compete with other platforms like TikTok. Recently, Meta has added many features to Instagram, including the support for dynamic theming for the app’s icon. The company has also launched a paid subscription service for Facebook and Instagram which will remove advertisements on the platforms. Meta will also soon roll out Gen AI-powered features to Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.
