What Original audio means

When a Reel shows Original audio with the creator's name, the creator uploaded their own sound instead of picking a song from Instagram's library. Instagram does not tell you what music is inside it.

Fix 1: paste the Reel link

Tap the paper plane, choose Copy link and paste it into FindTunes. It checks the audio itself and gives you the song name. Works with your sound off.

Fix 2: private account? Screen record it

Private Reels cannot be opened from a link. Screen record the Reel while it plays and upload the recording to FindTunes.

Fix 3: check the comments

Someone has usually asked. Search the comments for song or the name of the track. If the song is sped up, the comments often name the original.

Questions
