Instagram new update lets users replace audio on published posts

Instagram has rolled out Replace Audio, allowing creators to update the music on published feed posts without engagement.

Instagram is globally rolling out Replace Audio, allowing users to change the music on published feed posts and carousels without deleting and re-uploading them — all the while, preserving all of their existing likes, comments, and reach.

Until now, updating the music on an existing post meant deleting it and starting over. Replace Audio makes it easy for creators to keep their content current without sacrificing the engagement they’ve already earned — whether that means updating a post with a newly trending song, supporting an artist’s latest release, or just refreshing seasonal content.

The feature is another step in Instagram’s continued effort to build tools that give creators more creative freedom and flexibility to evolve their content, even long after it’s been published. Previously Instagram updates included profile grid re-ordering, multi-caption carousels, and new audience insights tools for creators.

Last month, Instagram also launched Instagram Plus, a new subscription designed to give users exclusive features. The new subscription is an optional upgrade for users who want more control, deeper insights, and premium features.

These include:

• Story Spotlight – Prioritises story for users friends.
• Super Hearts – Send vibrant, animated hearts that burst across the screen to celebrate stories from friends.
• Multiple Story Audiences – Create as many audience lists as you want, so users can share exactly the right story with exactly the right people.
• Story Extend – Set your story to last 48 hours so viewsers  have more time to see it.
• Story Preview – Preview stories without the pressure to react.
• Story Rewatch Insights – See how many times personal stories are rewatched.
• Search Viewer List – Quickly check if a specific person viewed story.
• Custom App Icon – Choose own app icon from a curated selection designed by Instagram and Instagram creators.
• Custom Bio Font – Customise the font of profile bio to match users personal style.
• More Profile Pins – Pin up to 6 posts to profile to highlight what matters most.
• Post Directly to Profile – Post to profile or highlights without it appearing in friends’ feeds.
