Let's start with the basics.
Luckily, Instagram has made it easy for you to find audios. You can find an audio by tapping on the audio name at the bottom right of the reel, this will take you to a page with the other top reels that have been created using that same audio. Here, you can view how many times this audio has been used, save the audio or share it.
To find a specific reel audio, you can search for an audio or related hashtag in the search bar, and tap on the audio tab to find the respective audios related to your search query.
But be warned, users can create their own audios and it might be a bit harder to find the audio you have stuck in your head from earlier that day. A helpful tip is to save audios that you like!
A trending audio is when there is consistent momentum, popularity and inclusion of that audio in people's reels. But just because an audio is being heavily used doesn't necessarily mean it's trending.
Whilst on the reel explore page, you can scroll through the reels that Instagram recommends to you. Finding a trending audio is as simple as spotting the trending arrow on the right side of the audio.
Now this is the juicy part... To create a viral reel, you need to find an audio before it goes viral and be the one that makes it go viral.
What do we mean by this?
From our experience, we know that choosing an upcoming trending audio can push you in the right direction to create a viral Instagram reel. But there are so many more factors such as your posting and engagement consistency and including a great hook.
