How will my mixed audio show up on Instagram and in downloads?
- Reels including licensed audio or original audio from another Reels creator: The audio will be attributed to them and appear on the audio page for that track. When you download these reels, all the audio will be removed from your download.
- Reels with only your original audio: The audio will be attributed to you and appear on the audio page for that track. You can download these reels with all the audio.
Note that if audio included in your reel is deleted, all the audio in your reel will be removed. We’ll send you a notification if this happens.
