On Instagram you will be able to choose a song for your profile

According to technology leaker Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram is testing a new feature closely reminiscent of the bygone days of MySpace by allowing people to associate a song with their account. After drawing on the peculiarities of popular social networks such as TikTok's reels and BeReal's back-to-back selfies for fear of falling into oblivion as was the case with Facebook and Tumblr or passing phenomena such as Clubhouse, it seems that IG has run out of inspiration and must forcibly leap into the past, back to the beginning of it all: MySpace. Paluzzi reported via Twitter that IG users will be able to play music on their pages visible in the bio section: «That's where your chosen song will be shown in your bio on #Instagram" - he wrote, attaching screenshots of how the new feature will be displayed - currently, music is not being played, but that may change before the official release.» To add a song, simply click on 'edit profile' and the 'music' option will appear, from there you can choose the song and, if you want, add a caption. 

Instagram has not yet confirmed the new feature, but a few weeks ago news had also leaked that the platform was testing a feature called 'IG Candid Challenges', strikingly similar to the basic concept of BeReal, an app that has been dubbed the anti-Instagram for its focus on more 'authentic' posts by taking double-sided selfies every day at a random time. Similarly, TikTok introduced the 'Now' function, copying another app's functionality for the first time since Musical.ly. It is clear that we are facing a turning point in the history of social networks, from their nature to their use. A transformation that was greeted with clamor in August, when Adam Mosseri announced the new 'video friendly' nature of Instagram, unleashing the wrath of platform heavyweights such as Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Chiara Ferragni in an attempt to stop what seems to be inevitable: the end of Instagram as we know it.
