# How to add music to your Telegram profile How to put music on your Telegram profile, remove a track and hide the playlist from others. https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/profile-music Updated 2026-10-02 · 4 min read To add music to your Telegram profile, play an audio file in a chat and tap "Add to Profile" in the media player. The track appears in a bar under your profile photo, and each further track turns it into a playlist. You don't need Premium. Telegram [launched the feature on 31 August 2025](https://telegram.org/blog/profile-music-gift-themes), so your app has to be up to date. ## How to add music to your Telegram profile Any audio file that is already in one of your chats will do: a private chat, a group or a channel. Streaming services are not used. If the song isn't in any chat yet, send it as a file first, for example to your Saved Messages. **On a phone (iPhone and Android):** 1. Open the chat with the audio file and start playing it. 2. Open the media player and tap "Add to Profile". **Another way:** select the track in the chat and tap "Save to…" → "Profile". [Telegram's official blog](https://telegram.org/blog/profile-music-gift-themes) describes both ways. **On desktop:** right-click the audio file and choose "Save to…" → "Profile". Keep adding tracks one by one: Telegram builds the playlist for you. If you add a song that is already on your profile, it isn't duplicated but moves to the top, as [Telegram's developer documentation](https://core.telegram.org/api/profile) explains. ## Do you need Telegram Premium for profile music? No. Neither [Telegram's announcement](https://telegram.org/blog/profile-music-gift-themes) nor the official [Premium feature list](https://telegram.org/faq_premium) sets that condition. For what a subscription really gives, see [what Telegram Premium is](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/what-is-telegram-premium). ## How to remove music from your profile Open the track in the media player. For a song that is already on your profile, Telegram shows a removal option: - **iPhone:** the player says "This audio is visible on your profile" and shows a "Remove" button. - **Android:** tap "Remove from Profile" in the player. - **Desktop:** right-click the track and choose "Remove from Profile" (some versions just say "Delete"). The wording differs a little between versions. Look for "remove" or "delete" next to the word profile. ## Who can see the music on your profile Whoever your privacy settings allow. Profile music has its own setting. In [Telegram's API documentation](https://core.telegram.org/type/PrivacyKey) it is called "Saved Music" and controls whether other people can see the songs pinned to your profile. Open Settings → Privacy and Security and look for that item. As with other privacy settings, you can pick "Everybody", "My Contacts" or "Nobody" and add exceptions: people or whole groups who won't see your music. > **Tip:** If you don't want to show your playlist, choose "Nobody". The tracks stay on your profile, and you can still play them. ## What else you can set up on your profile Music is one of several profile details. Others sit next to it: - an [emoji status](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/emoji-status) beside your name; - your [birthday](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/telegram-birthday) on the profile; - [gifts on your profile](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/hide-gifts-in-profile), which you can hide; - your online time: [what "last seen recently" means](https://shiba-bank.com/en/guides/last-seen) and how to hide it. If you want to send a friend Stars or Premium, open [Shiba Bank](https://shiba-bank.com/en/prices), a bot that buys them on Fragment by @username. ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I add music to my Telegram profile?
