Steps to add song lyrics to Reels
Adding song lyrics to Instagram Reels is similar to how they are added to Stories.
Firstly, while uploading the Reel, you need to tap on the music icon and select a song. Once you swipe left, lyrics will be added, eliminating manual input.
This long-due update is a welcome change for users who previously had to add song lyrics manually. It is rolling out for both iOS and Android users.
