FACEBOK TERRITORY ADDITIONS….
We are excited to announce that users on Facebook and Instagram are now able to express themselves through music in Austria and Lithuania, by including music in user-generated content, adding music from our catalog to their Stories, and using other creative tools such as Lyrics on Instagram.
With the roll-out of music products in these new countries, people can enhance their Facebook and Instagram experiences with music, including the newest releases, regional hits and classic oldies. We’re thrilled to enable people to include music in the moments they share on our platforms, and are excited to support local music communities as fans express themselves in meaningful ways through music.
