Music for Reels, Instagram polls and comment prompts

Music for Reels has been one of your top requests, and it's finally here. Your Instagram captions also get two new ways to engage your followers: polls and comment prompts.

Music for Reels

Instagram music picker with search and Music and Original audio filters

Schedule Instagram Reels with trending music or any track from the Instagram library.

Hover over a track to hear how it sounds with your video. Music too loud? No problem, just adjust the volume of the music and the video.

Instagram polls

Instagram poll in the comments with two answers, ending in 3 days

Add a poll to your Instagram post or Reel and let your followers vote in the comments section. Your caption becomes the question, with 2 to 4 answers.
