Why can’t I Add Music to My Snapchat Picture/Video?

If you have not been able to add music to Snapchat, there is a high chance that you are using an outdated version of Snapchat. Assuming this is the issue, you can simply go to either the play store or the app store and search for Snapchat. Then you can click on ‘Update‘ and get the latest version of Snapchat. This might solve your problem. However, if certain songs are not available in your region you might not be able to use them. In case that is the situation you are in, just wait for the music to be available in your region and you should be able to use it.
