Snapchat might now compete with Instagram Reels as it allows adding music to Snaps

• Snapchat is the latest social media app to add music onto its platform.
• This feature will allow users to create short videos like TikTok.

Starting today, Snapchatters on iOS can add music to their Snaps (pre or post capture) from a curated catalogue of music from emerging and established artists globally.

How it works

Music makes video creations and communication more expressive, and offers a personal way to recommend music to your closest friends. When you receive a Snap with Sounds, you can swipe up to view the album art, song title, and name of the artist. A 'Play This Song' link lets you listen to the full song on your favorite streaming platform, including Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud.


Snapchat adds Justin Bieber Exclusive

Justin’s new track, ‘Lonely’, will be a featured exclusive in Snapchat’s Featured Sounds list today, before his album drops tomorrow. Snapchatters will be able to create artistic Snaps with his new ballad, share them with their friends, and even save the link to download the song tomorrow when it’s available on their favourite platform.
