Should I use trendy copyrighted music (like major artists) in my Instagram reels if I have a business account?

Be cautious with copyrighted music from major artists on a business account. While it may work initially, there’s a risk the audio could get muted later due to copyright restrictions. This won’t get you in serious trouble, but your reel could lose its audio. If that happens, you can simply change the audio track or repost with different music. The current post can stay up and working for now, but be aware of this possibility for future content. Consider using royalty-free music or Instagram’s business-approved audio library for more stability.
