Instagram is seen heavily invested in Reels and we all know it’s one of its priorities. The social media platform recently tested a TikTok-like, full-screen UI for its feed (although, it wasn’t the most likable) and is now testing a new feature, which will convert video posts into Reels.
Instagram has confirmed that it is testing a feature, which will automatically make videos posted as a feed post into a Reel. An Instagram spokesperson confirmed the news to TechCrunch by stating, “We’re testing this feature as part of our efforts to simplify and improve the video experience on Instagram.“
However, we don’t know if this feature will be applicable to existing videos on Instagram. Plus, there’s no word on how this works for videos posted in horizontal orientation. It also remains to be seen when and if Instagram plans to make this feature public for all.
