How to Remove a Song from an Instagram Post
- Open the Instagram app on your phone.
- Tap on the profile icon at the bottom right to go to your profile.
- Find the post that has music attached to it and tap on it.
- Tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the post.
- If there is no direct option to remove the music, use a workaround:
- Tap on the three-line menu at the top right of your profile and scroll down to find Account Type and Tools.
- Tap on it and look for Branded Content. If there’s an option indicating eligibility for paid partnerships, turn it on.
- Go back to your post and tap on the three dots again.
- Select Partnership Label and Ads.
- Toggle on the option to add a partnership label.
- Once done, the song will no longer play on your post. Instead, it will display a paid partnership label at the top.
- You can turn off the partnership label later if desired, but this method effectively removes the music from your Instagram post.
