Instagram Has Entered MySpace Territory
Instagram is bringing back some MySpace nostalgia with a new feature that lets users add a song to their profiles. Rolling out Thursday, this update lets you set the perfect vibe for your page, with music appearing below your bio. Sabrina Carpenter fans got an early taste as she used the feature to drop her new single “Taste” ahead of her Short n’ Sweet album release. Unlike the old MySpace days, though, the songs won’t autoplay—so no surprise jams when you visit someone’s profile!
