The inability to utilize the music feature on Instagram, preventing users from adding audio to their Stories or Reels, constitutes a service disruption. This can manifest as the feature being entirely absent, displaying error messages, or failing to load available tracks.
Access to music on the platform enhances content creation, allowing for greater emotional impact and audience engagement. Historically, music integration has been a key element in attracting and retaining users, contributing to the platform’s overall appeal and market competitiveness. Therefore, its malfunction detracts from the intended user experience.
