The second way you can put music to your Instagram stories is by using the Pixgram app. This app can be download on Google Play at any time and the best of all is that it is completely free, you do not need to pay any license to use its functions.
However, putting all this aside, pay attention to the process that will be shown next, since in this it will be explained in detail how to put music to a photo. And once that photo has music, it would only be necessary to upload it:

You need to know that Instagram only lets you post 15 seconds of video in the stories. So it is recommended that the video you create using Pixgram has a duration of 15 seconds and even less. It should be noted that so that other people are not inquiring into your profile, you can activate the private mode. With Instagram’s private mode, people who look for you won’t find you unless you start following them or give them the link to your account.
How to put favorite Spotify music on your Instagram photos?
You can put your favorite songs on Spotify in your Instagram photos in two different ways. The first thing you should do is select creation option of a new story, place the photo, search for that song in the Instagram search engine and add it.
However, sometimes there are songs that the search engine Instagram will not give you. This may be due to legal issues or because the artist is not well known. When this happens, I would touch you find that song on YouTube or on a web page and create a separate video along with the photo, using an app like Pixgram.
Why doesn’t Instagram allow you to put music on your photos?
If Instagram does not let you place music on the photo of your story, it must be because the application has some error with its operation. To solve these types of problems you have to:
- Enter the cell phone settings
- Go to the ‘Applications’ section
- Find the Instagram application and select it
- Finally, press the option ‘Clear cache’
In case the above did not help you solve the problem, opt for uninstall the app and install it again. By doing this, any bugs in the previous version of the app should be corrected and any new features that have been added will be incorporated.
