Instagram now allows you to recommend songs via the question sticker.
Available in the app for iPhone (iOS) and Android, the feature arrived with the music sticker, and allows you to create questions for friends to answer with songs from the Instagram library.
The function is ideal for people who want to receive song recommendations to listen to from friends, using the question «Which song should I listen to on Instagram?».
Followers can search for songs within the app’s collection and insert them in response.
In this way, the user who performed the sharing will be able to check all the answers and create new stories mentioning each song sent.
Follow the tutorial below to create musical questions and receive track recommendations with Instagram Music.
