Instagram is getting set to launch a new feature that will enable users to quickly access their recently shared Reels, making it easier for them to reshare a Reel they liked to another friend at a later time, Techcrunch reports.
The feature is currently in testing mode, and it is unclear when it will be rolled out to all Instagram users. However, if successful, it could become a valuable tool for content creators looking to expand their reach and increase engagement. Once the feature is live, users will be able to find their recently shared Reels in a dedicated section within the app.
Instagram was quick to respond to TikTok’s success by launching Reels, a feature that allows users to create short videos with music and special effects. The feature has been a huge success, and it has quickly become one of the most popular features on the platform. However, Reels has so far struggled to gain the same level of popularity as TikTok.
With the new feature, Instagram is hoping to make it even easier for users to share their Reels and to discover new content on the platform.
Instagram’s upcoming feature will make it easier for users to share their favorite Reels with friends and to discover new content on the platform. With the new feature, users will be able to quickly access their recently shared Reels and reshare them with a single tap. Instagram’s ongoing efforts to improve the Reels feature are a testament to the platform’s commitment to providing users with the best possible experience.
In addition to the new feature, the platform is also testing Instagram Channels, where users who choose to subscribe to a channel can receive updates and messages from their favourite creators. Similar to Telegram Channels, followers won’t have the ability to post, however they can “emoji-react” to content and vote in polls.
The new features are part of Instagram’s ongoing efforts to make the platform more engaging and to keep up with the ever-evolving social media landscape. With the rise of platforms like TikTok, Instagram is facing increasing competition in the short-form video space, and it’s clear that the company is determined to stay ahead of the curve.
