How to Add Background Music to Your Profile Page in LINE

Tap each step to follow along in order.

  1. Open your profile screen

    In LINE, open the Home tab and tap your own profile at the top to enter your profile page.

  2. Open the profile edit screen

    Tap the edit icon on your profile to enter edit mode.

  3. Tap the music note icon

    In the edit screen, tap the music note icon to open the background music picker.

  4. Search for a song and select it

    Type a song title or artist into the search box, pick the track you want, and save your profile.

  5. Why bother with it?

    A background track is a small way to add personality to your profile -- it plays automatically for friends who open your profile page.

Not every messaging app supports this

This specific feature -- an auto-playing track tied to your profile page -- is not universal across messaging apps. Many popular apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram, and Messenger, do not offer a built-in profile-music feature at all, so check your specific app's profile edit screen for a music note icon before assuming it exists.

Licensing means the song library is limited

Available songs are pulled from a licensed music catalog built into the app, so not every song exists in the searchable library, and the exact songs you can choose from vary by region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the music play automatically for everyone who visits?

Yes -- once set, the track starts playing automatically whenever a friend opens your profile page, without them needing to tap anything.

Can I use my own MP3 file instead of a song from the library?

No, most apps that support this feature restrict you to searching their own licensed music catalog rather than uploading a personal audio file.
