Why Would You Need to Save Music on Instagram?

Saving music on Instagram can be useful for several reasons:

• Personal enjoyment: By saving music from Instagram, you can create your collection of favorite songs or tracks that you come across while browsing the platform. This allows you to easily access and listen to these songs whenever you want without searching for them again.
• Inspiration for content creation: If you’re a content creator on Instagram, you might find certain songs or audio tracks used in Reels or Stories that resonate with your creative ideas. By saving these songs, you can refer back to them and incorporate them into your content, adding a personal touch and enhancing the overall impact of your posts.
• Soundtrack preservation: Instagram Reels and Stories often feature unique or popular songs that might not be readily available on other platforms. Saving these songs allows you to preserve the soundtrack of a specific video or moment that you found interesting or meaningful, ensuring you can revisit and enjoy it later.

It’s important to note that the availability of these features may depend on the version of the Instagram app you’re using, and the ability to save music may be limited to the iOS and Android apps rather than the web client.

How to Save Music on Instagram?

Are you wondering how to save music on Instagram? There are a couple of ways you can do it, depending on what you’re looking for.

To save music on Instagram, you can follow different methods depending on your specific needs:

Method 1: Using third-party video downloaders

Sometimes you find an awesome video on Instagram with music that you love, but you can’t find that song anywhere else. In that case, you can use a third-party video downloader to extract the audio and save it as an MP3 file. This method is helpful if you want to save music that isn’t available on Instagram or if you want to use it outside of the app. 

There are a bunch of video downloaders like “4ins“, and “Offmp3” that let you copy and paste the Instagram video link and download the audio as an MP3 file. Just remember using these tools might break Instagram’s rules, so be careful.

Method 2: Saving songs within the Instagram app

This method is also great if you want to use that music in your own story or reel. Follow these steps:

• Find a reel with music that you like
• Tap the song title at the bottom left of the screen.

• You’ll be taken to a page containing all the audio reels.
• Tap the “Save Audio” option above the reels and below the song title. You can now use this in your own stories and roles. It’s that easy!
