By tapping on the music sticker, you open the music catalog, in which you can select the appropriate track.

In the music catalog you can search specifically for a song or you can scroll through the various moods and genres.

After you have selected the right song, you can determine the length and the exact position of the song section. You can also set how and whether the lyrics should be displayed at all.

The procedure for adding music is identical on Android and iOS and is very simple.

1. Open the Instagram app and go into camera mode. Here you can now take a picture or video or select one from the gallery.
2. Now you can add all possible stickers by tapping on the sticker icon in the top right.
3. Select the music sticker. Then a kind of catalog opens in which you can use the magnifying glass to search for specific songs. There are also the tabs "Popular", "Mood" and "Genre", in which you can also browse for suitable tracks.
4. By tapping on the appropriate song, you add it to the Instagram story.
5. You can now search for the desired position in the song in the timeline. You can also specify the length of the song section. The maximum here is 15 seconds.
6. Recently there is also a lyrics function, in which the lyrics are displayed as an overlay. If you want to set a different font of the texts or completely hide the lyrics, you can switch back and forth between the different modes by briefly tapping on the lyrics. For example, you can only display the song cover.
7. Tap on "Done" to complete the process.
