Every once in a while, you may have come across Instagram Stories that have “music.” But, when you play it, the app says: “Instagram music is not available in your region.” Well, Instagram Music is the latest addition to Instagram Stories that allows you to add a short clip of music. Tapping will play the song, and users can choose to reply with a message or share the song with their own story. Fortunately, there is a workaround that not only lets you listen to other people’s music stories but even create one. Let’s see how you do it.
Why you got “Instagram Music Isn’t Available in Your Region”
So if you’re wondering, “Why can’t I add music to my Instagram story?” It turns out that Instagram has only launched this feature in a few countries. If you live outside of any of these countries, you can’t listen to other people’s Instagram music or create your own. The content available for each country is different, and it’s specific to each country. So the music Asian sees are not the same as American see.
You don’t need to worry about the country restrictions. You can change the country to a restriction-free one and enjoy the music. Below is a recommended method that you should follow to enjoy Instagram music.

3. Why not recommend VPN?
The official said, please avoid using VPN and similar services, which may cause Instagram to be unable to verify your country and region. I personally tested using a VPN to log in to my Instagram account. When I logged in, an error 503 popped up in the app, reporting that a VPN was used, and I could not access the account. In the worst case, Instagram might ban your account for violating their terms and conditions.
