A minor Reels replace, which brings it extra into line with TikTok.
This week, Instagram’s added a brand new “Following” feed within the Reels tab, which allows you to solely see Reels from accounts that you just observe within the app.
Up until now, Instagram has solely supplied a single Reels feed, which shows a mix of posts from accounts that you just observe in addition to really helpful clips. However now, like TikTok’s “For You” and “Following” streams, you may select to solely see the most recent movies from the accounts you select.
Which might be not going to be overly useful on Instagram, as a result of most customers are following a variety of accounts within the app, and so they could not essentially need to see their Reels as a lot as they’re involved in their common posts and Tales.
I might hazard a guess that most individuals observe totally different accounts on TikTok than they do on Instagram (in the event that they observe TikTok accounts in any respect), which, by extension, might additionally imply that your Reels “Following” feed shouldn’t be as entertaining as the principle show.
However good to have the choice anyway, I suppose, for those who do choose to see solely clips from the accounts that you just select.
You may swap your Reels tab to “Following” by tapping on the “Reels” title within the higher left nook of the display, then selecting “Following” from the dropdown menu. You may simply swap again to the principle Reels feed by tapping the again arrow on the high left of display.
