2. Tap the "plus" icon, and then tap "Audio."
3. Tap on "My Music" and search for the song you want, for example.
4. Click the plus sign next to the selected track. Trim it in the editor, if necessary, and then tap "Done".

The capabilities of the popular video editor VN are in many ways superior to iMovie, and among them, of course, is the function of adding an audio track.

1. Open the editor, click on the plus sign, and select New Project.
2. Find the desired video and tap the blue arrow. After that, click the Add Audio Track icon and select Music.
3. You can add an audio file via a link from iTunes, transfer it via AirDrop, or import it from the Files app. The latter option can be used: go to My Music → More → Import from File App and select the desired track.
4. VN will prompt you to add the song to one of the albums. Instead, create a new one by tapping New Album and opening it.
5. Now select the track you want, tap Use, and then trim the track if necessary. Adjust the volume and confirm the action.
6. When everything is ready, tap Share, select automatic or manual settings, and tap Export. After processing, the video will appear in the iPhone gallery.
