When creating slideshows to celebrate your loved ones, adding music is a great way to spice up your project. We’ve given you 4 soundtrack options, but you can also add your own audio files. Here are the necessary steps to upload your own song.

Step 1: Send an audio file to your device

To get started, you must send your chosen audio file to your device. This can be done from an email, a messages app such as iMessage or WhatsApp, or AirDrop.
