Instagram has announced a new feature that allows users to add up to 20 audio tracks on their Reels.
With this development, you can add variable soundtrack elements to your Reels within a single clip. You can also visually align audio with elements like text, stickers and clips while you’re editing your Reel in the app. With this flexibility, you can express and explore your creativity in a way that fits your own standards.
When you add multiple different tracks to a reel, you will be able to create your own unique audio mix that will be attributed to you. Your fans and followers will be able to save and reuse your audio mixes.

Here’s how you can use this feature:
- Go to Instagram’s video editor.
- Hit the new “add to mix” button.
- Choose the tracks you want to include, the portions of songs you want to use, and where you want to place them in the videos.
Instagram’s announcement was met with delight from the social media community.
“This is amazing,” one user wrote.
“Whoa the possibilities are endless,” another praised.
Instagram’s new Reel update is both creative and unique, giving it a significant and original advantage over its social media rival, TikTok, where users need to use a workaround or third-party app to get multiple songs in their videos. Hopefully, it will lead to newer and bigger updates in the future.
