Step 1: Locate the Post

...) located at the top right corner of the post.
Step 3: Delete the Post
After accessing the options menu, follow these steps:
- Find and select the Delete button.
- Confirm that you want to delete the post. This action cannot be undone.
Step 4: Create a New Post
Now that the original post has been deleted, you can create a new one:
- Tap the plus sign (+) at the bottom of your screen to start a new post.
- After selecting your photo or video, click on the Next button at the top right.
Step 5: Add Music (If Desired)
In the new post editor, you have the option to add music:
- Tap on Add Music to select a new song, or simply skip this step to post without music.
Step 6: Share the New Post
Once you’ve edited your post according to your liking, tap Share at the top right corner to post it on your Instagram feed without the unwanted song.
Extra Tips & Common Issues
Here are some helpful tips for managing your Instagram music:
- Currently, Instagram does not allow users to change the song on an already posted video directly. Deleting and reposting is the only method available.
- Adjust the volume of the song with the in-app sound settings, but note that this won’t remove the song itself.
- If you’re unsure about a song, consider previewing it first to avoid unwanted deletions.
