How to Fix Instagram Music is not Available in Your Region

Follow the following four simple steps to fix the error Instagram Music is not available in your region:

1. Uninstall Instagram

To make this fix work, you first need to uninstall the Instagram app from your Android device.

The reason is simple; the app is designed to look for the location based on your internet service provider and the linked IP address to serve you customized content.

That is why the app automatically detects your current location when you open the app for the first time. To refresh that, we need to uninstall the app.

  1. On your Android device, go to Settings.
  2. Tap on Apps.
  3. In the list of apps, look for Instagram and tap it.
  4. Tap on the Uninstall button.

2. Download and Install Your Favorite VPN App

There are dozens of VPN apps readily available for Android phone and tablet devices that help you connect to servers worldwide.

We have reviewed a handful of best VPN apps here in this blog post, and you can pick the best one for yourself to bypass the error that Instagram music is not available in your region.

Express VPN works really well as it supports streaming at reasonable speeds, so whether you want to stream music or videos or add those to your Instagram post, the app will work flawlessly.

Another aspect that one needs to take care of is privacy as well as how personal data and activities are being logged.

Most of the apps let you switch between different locations, and you can select the appropriate location based on the speed and latency rate.

So once you have picked the VPN of your choice, the next step is to download and install it on your phone.

3. Choose an Appropriate Server and Activate VPN

Once you have installed and logged into the VPN, the next step is to set it up on your Android device and prepare it for Instagram.

It would help if you chose the appropriate server based on the location where Instagram music is readily available.

That is to avoid getting the same error message you were getting earlier, i.e., Instagram Music is not available in your region.

Apart from the location, you may need to look for a server with better speeds for this, as opting for a sluggish server could significantly affect your experience.

Once found, activate VPN and try browsing the internet to check and see if everything is working as it should without any issue.

4. Install Instagram

You need to download and install Instagram on your Android device. Simply use the download link given below and install it on your device.

Alternatively, you can search for Instagram on the Play Store and install it from there. Make sure VPN is active and running.
