How to Fix It When You Can’t Share Music on Instagram
Follow these steps in order until you can share music on your Instagram Story.
Restart the Instagram app. Close the Instagram app and reopen it to clear out any temporary technical hiccups. Restart your device. A reboot will clear out old or corrupted files that can interfere with Instagram. Update the Instagram app. You can’t share music without the latest app updates, so check for app updates on your Android device or app updates on your iPhone. Sign out and sign in again. From your profile, tap Menu > Settings > Log Out, then reenter your login credentials. Clear the app cache. Even if the app is up-to-date, there could be outdated files causing conflicts. Reinstall the Instagram app. Delete the mobile app, then redownload it from Google Play or the Apple App Store. Switch to a personal or creator account. If you’re using a business account, the music sharing feature may not work. From your profile, tap Menu > Settings > Account > Switch Account Type. Disable your VPN. Likewise, if you typically use a VPN, make sure it’s not set to a country where music sharing is unavailable. Contact Instagram. If you’ve tried everything and still can’t determine why you can’t share music, you can try reporting the issue to Instagram.
