Method 2: Authenticate your Account Again
Instagram music notes may become unavailable due to incorrect account details. You should log out from your Instagram account and log in again.
Step 1:LaunchInstagramand tap theProfile iconat the bottom-right corner.
Step 2:Tap thehamburgermenuand openSettings and privacy.
Step 3:Log out of your account and sign back in using account details.
Method 3: Your Account Is Shadowbanned
A shadowban is basically a silent restriction on your account that is put in when you abuse Instagram with too many likes, posts, comments, and messages. Once enabled, Instagram limits your post’s reach by hiding it from everyone else’s feeds, hashtags, and the Explore page.
If you suspect a shadowban, take a break from using suspicious hashtags and posting too frequently. ReviewInstagram’s Community Guidelinesand focus on creating high-quality content. After a week or two of clean activity, your account should return to normal visibility.
When none of the tricks work, try using your Instagram account on another device and see if the music option shows up in the notes.
