Some key details to note about Reels and how to use them:
Instagram reels are similar to TikTok videos where you can share a 60 or 90-second video you can customize by editing video clips and stitching them together, adding music, applying filters, writing captions, inserting interactive backgrounds, and adding stickers. Instagram has tried to make Reels fun and interactive, with opportunities for creators to go viral.
Instagram now has an entire tab in their mobile app dedicated to Reels. In this tab, you can see all Reels (not just the accounts you follow), and has dedicated an entire tab in the mobile app to Reels.
