Instagram music sticker not working
If you are not able to share music in your stories, then it might be due to an older version of the Instagram app your phone has. In that case, all you have to do is update to the latest Instagram version. Another reason for the music sticker not showing may be because the feature is still not available in your country.
An additional way of sharing music to your Story

Just navigate to the song you want to share, scroll up to Spotify's real-time lyrics, select the section you want to share, and choose 'Share to Instagram Stories'. After doing so, the song along with the lyrics will be shared to your Instagram stories.
