Written by Emilija Anchevska Social Media / Facebook
As short musical videos gain traction, social media platforms, including Facebook, are trying to find ways to enable users to add music to most of their content.
Following Instagram’s footsteps, Facebook added Reels, for users to be able to watch and create short and engaging videos on both platforms.
But the fun doesn’t stop here.
Users can add music to their Facebook posts as well!
In fact, Facebook introduced this feature even before Reels was released, but some users are still unaware of it.
Adding music to Facebook photos means no one has to film themselves dancing and edit their videos to create an engaging and entertaining post.
All users need to do is tap on the music icon and choose a song, just as they do when creating Instagram stories.
Creating a musical post on Facebook is super easy, so take a look at the screenshots below to learn where to find this feature, select a song, and post the ‘music photo’ to your Facebook account.
