In the world of social media, staying on top of trends is crucial for any content creator or brand. One of the most influential trends currently is the use of trending sounds or songs on Instagram, particularly in Reels or posts. This blog post will guide you through two simple methods to discover these trending sounds. Check out the video!
Method 1: Instagram App
Firstly, let’s explore how you can find trending sounds directly within the Instagram app. Here are the steps:
- Launch Instagram: Open the Instagram app on your device. In this example, we are using an iPad, but the process should be similar across other devices.
- Create a New Reel: Tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen to start creating a new post. Select ‘Reel’ from the options provided.
- Select ‘Trending’: After selecting ‘Reel’, look towards the bottom of the screen and tap on ‘Trending’. This will display the top 50 audio tracks that have been used in reels over the past three days. Tracks that violate Instagram’s community guidelines will not be included. Note: The loading time may vary depending on your internet connection.
Method 2: External Websites
