In our opinion,
Instagram Reels are one of the best additions to the social platform. Reels are
short video clips that let you show off your creativity to the world. One of
the best features of Reels on Instagram is that it allows you to add music and
other sounds to your reels.
But an issue we have
heard is people looking for solutions for how to change the audio on Instagram
Reels after posting. There is a solution, but it's not for every occasion. So
we will be showing you some tips as well as the solution. The tips will cover
how you can add the perfect audio for your reels on your first try.
Instagram Reels are like
little videos you can make and share with your friends on Instagram. They're
super fun! You can make Reels with music, funny sounds, and cool effects to
make them even more awesome. Reels are short, so you don't have to spend a long
time making them. They can be up to 60 seconds long, which is just one minute!
When you make a Reel,
you can choose different songs or sounds from Instagram's library to add to
your video. This is what makes Reels special – you can pick the perfect music
or sound to go with what you're showing in your video. It's a bit like making
your own mini-movie!
Once you've made your
Reel, you can share it with your friends on Instagram. They can watch it and
like it, just like they do with your other posts. Reels are popular because
they're short, easy to watch, and a great way to show your creativity to your
friends.
A special rule lets you
change the audio if you ever find your Instagram Reel with no sound. Only when
Instagram itself turns off the sound are you allowed to switch it up?
To swap the silent audio
with a new one, tap "Replace audio" on the post. But remember,
Instagram only lets you do this once, so make sure you're happy with your
choice.
Now, if Instagram
doesn't mute your Reel, you're out of luck when it comes to changing the audio
afterward (bummer, right?). But don't worry, you still have an option. You can
save the Reel, upload it again with different music, and then hide the original
one. This is handy if you suddenly change your mind about the sound after
posting.
To save your Reel, tap
those three dots (...) at the bottom right corner of the post, then hit
"Download." This saves the Reel to your phone so you can upload it
again with a new tune.
After saving it, hide
the original Reel by selecting "Archive" from the same menu. This
takes it off your profile, and nobody else can see it.
But remember, doing this
means you'll lose all the likes and comments on the original Reel. So, think
carefully before you decide to do it.
Here are 7 helpful tips to guide you in selecting the right audio:
By keeping in mind these
tips, you can select the right audio for your Instagram Reels on the first try.
To change the audio on
your Instagram Reels after posting, you need to “Replace Audio,” but it's only
for reels that Instagram mutes. Also, you can only do so once; therefore, you
need to replace it with the right audio.
If the Reel isn’t muted,
you need to download that Reel, replace the audio, upload the new Reel, and
archive the original one. As you can see, the process isn’t complicated but
annoying. Thus, we suggest that you pick the right audio on your first try. Use
the tips we suggested to help you choose the best audio for your Instagram
Reels.
