Why is music not available for my Instagram Story?

Have difficulties added music to your Instagram Story? There are several potential causes of that bug, including:

  • Your application is out of date. First, try deleting and reinstalling the Instagram program if you can't find the music sticker in your Stories. Sometimes all it takes to restore your ability to add music is a quick update.
  • Your nation does not offer the music feature. Your country might not be on the list of people who can access music for Stories if you reload the app and there is still no sticker.

Only 60 nations now have access to the function. At this point, you must use a VPN network to support. You can use ClearVPN and its shortcut Unlock Instagram Music if your country is not listed. If you select that shortcut, ClearVPN will link your iPhone to an IP address in a nation where Instagram music stickers are supported.
