How to Add or Remove Music from Facebook Profile

If versatility was the sole parameter to judge a social media app, Facebook would turn out to be a runaway winner by decimating all other rivals out there. Whether you want to watch fun-loving short clips, play instant games, find a nice person for dating, market your products, or even tune into your favorite songs, Facebook can do it all. Speaking of songs, the social media app lets you add songs to your Facebook profile on iPhone and Android devices so that you can stream them when you want while browsing through your personalized feed or chatting with your friends. Sounds interesting? Let me show you how you can add or remove music from your Facebook profile.

Integrated with a massive library of songs, Facebook is fully equipped to cater to a variety of tastes. Once you have added songs, you can pin them to your profile, view the artist’s page, and even add them to your story. Moreover, if you ever find some songs no longer in line with your interest, you can also remove them. Keep in mind, the songs that you add to Facebook profile are public, so anyone can view your collection.

  • Jennifer Gerling says:

    • Tori thomas says:

  • Diane Pedone says:

    Why is Facebook only showing music

  • Max says:

    Hii! I just noticed that when I try to pin a song to my profile, it says “fail to update your profile song” it’s been like that for almost two months, ¿How can I fix it?

    • Jazming Hernandez says:

      I’m having the same issue. Even though I have contacted support.

  • Douglas Benoit says:

    This procedure doesn’t explain how to remove or add items in MUSIC under My Profile at all. When I go to Edit Profile, I scroll down to the bottom, and click “Edit Your About Info” and I scroll down to MUSIC, and I can’t get rid of some composers and artists. The subtitles for the composers are listed incorrectly. Antonio Vivaldi is subtitled as “Musician” and Mozart as “Public Figure.”

  • Paul says:

    I located the music icon on the search profile tab, added and pinned some music on my profile. But when I viewed my profile, there is no music icon. Where and how do I fix this?

  • Loslingos says:

    Hello. I do not have the music icon. How do I get this?

  • Packaging Company says:
