Instagram users will have the option to add music to their Stories, which other users will hear when viewing their photos or videos. Besides that the app plays the music, there is a sticker on the screen with the artist and the song.

There are thousands of songs to choose from so far, and options should be added every day, Instagram says. Adding music is done from the menu to add stickers to images, the social network says. It is also possible to use the music option from the camera interface.

The feature does not yet work globally. The option is in Instagram version 51 for iOS and Android, but the music is only in the app in a few countries. The Facebook subsidiary company keeps to itself which countries these are. The option to choose music in the camera interface is only available on iOS for now.

Instagram says that Stories feature has about four hundred million daily users. This probably concerns users who view Stories. It is unknown how many users use the feature to upload photos and videos.
