Reels is a video feature on Instagram that lets you film, edit and post video clips in the app. Clips must be between three and 90 seconds long. To get started, make sure you’ve got the latest version of the Instagram app on iOS or Android. You can find Reels by swiping right to open the camera and tapping Reels. (Read our full Reels tutorial here.)
If you’ve used Vine or TikTok, Reels should feel familiar. On the left side of the screen, there’s a slew of filters, songs to add, timed text options and other effects.
You can easily swap and post to your Instagram page or story. Plus, you can save a Reel to your drafts to keep working on it later.
