how to search for audio on Instagram:
- Open the Discover page on Instagram.

🔥 Update 07.08.21: Instagram deactivated this A/B test. The only possible way to search for music on Instagram is to check it via Story or Reel creation view.
For Creators:
This is a super nice opportunity to find tracks that are related to your niche. There you can see which tracks are more popular by checking the number of views for each Reel. If you haven't created a Reel on Instagram yet, it is a foot chance to try it out.
