A song can be added to profiles via “edit profile” and searching titles from Instagram’s music library. You can select up to 30 seconds of a song and other users can click play when they visit your profile to listen to the song.

TikTok launches personalised AI voice-overs
TikTok has launched a new AI voice-over feature that allows users to use their own voices rather than the generic templates already in the app. Select TikTok users can now use the feature through the “Create Your Own AI Voice” option within the video editor. The voice-over feature works by users reciting a select number of phrases into their device, with the AI feature then using these phrases to create future voice-overs.
Instagram is testing new profile cards with selected creators. The two-sided digital cards provide a QR code linking to your profile on one side, and a profile overview and summary on the other. The overview includes your profile picture, bio, profile category and any business links.
