TikTok is one of the most popular apps that made the teens go crazy by making all the cool lip-syncing videos. Following the popularity of the feature, Facebook-owned Instagram is now introducing a similar new feature as a response to ByteDance's hugely popular app.

Before you start shooting the video, you need to choose the preferred music lens type. Once you pick a song, you will find lyrics pop-up on your screen and then you can choose animation styles from options like traditional karaoke teleprompter, a typewriter version that preserves mystery by only revealing lyrics as they’re sung, and big flashy billboard font.

According to the official statement by Instagram, when a user is looking at your story, they can click on the lyrics and can get details about the artist or listen more of the song.

Since music stickers aren't available in India yet, this feature isn't something you might be able to try out right away.
