How do I use the audio from a viral reel I want to replicate?

Go to the original reel and tap on the audio name at the bottom of the screen. You’ll see a button that says ‘Use Audio.’ Tap that, and it will let you create a new reel with the same audio. Using audio from a trending or viral reel can give your post a small boost because the algorithm may favor content using popular sounds.
