The Pakistani Instagram user’s often reads this message on photo sharing application that “Instagram Music is not available in your region,”.
However, the reason behind this is because the Meta-owned platform had not previously obtained the music licence for this region, hence, the feature was unavailable in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, now users will be able to add different soundtracks and melodies to their stories from all over the world now that the functionality has been enabled in Pakistan.
This feature was first released in different nations around the world by the photo-and-video-sharing platform in 2018.
“You can now add a music to your story that matches any scene and assists you communicate your emotions.” “We’re thrilled to provide our community new ways to feel connected to their friends and followers,” the platform revealed on its official blog. “Instagram Stories is now used by 400 million people every day, and we’re excited to give our community new ways to feel closer to their friends and followers.”

How do you use music from Instagram in your Stories?
Answer: When you tap to add a sticker to a photo or video in Stories, you’ll now see a music icon, according to the platform.
“Tap it to enter a library of thousands of songs – you can search for a particular song, browse by mood, genre, or what’s trending, and listen to a preview by tapping the play button.” You can fast-forward and rewind through the track once you’ve chosen your song to find the exact part that fits your story. Before recording a video, you can optionally choose a song. Swipe to the new ‘Music’ option under the record button when the camera opens. “Find a song, pick the exact part you want, then make a video while the song is playing in the background.”
