The Reels feature, which Instagram launched against the popular TikTok application, continues to develop day by day. The application, which especially wants to attract young social media users, offers certain features of TikTok in Reels. Wanting to further develop Reels, Instagram added new features with the latest update.
Instagram Reels gets new features
With the incoming update, Instagram Reels aims to engage more audiences and help users express themselves better. Accordingly, new features such as new tools and voice expressions have been added to Reels.
Criticized for short video durations, Instagram focused primarily on this issue and increased the maximum video duration to 90 seconds. Thus, much longer videos can be shared on Instagram Reels. However, it is worth remembering that TikTok has started to support videos up to 10 minutes with the last update. We look forward to Instagram’s response to this.
Instagram will also now offer the ability to stream your own voice directly to Reels. With the new feature, you will be able to transfer audio from videos you have taken to videos longer than 5 seconds. In addition, the audio you share will be available to other users.
Reels also added new sound effects to create different videos. These sound effects include air horn, crickets, drums and much more. Instagram is also starting to offer polls, quizzes and emoji emoticons in Reels, which are available in Stories.
Instagram Reels intends to stay ahead of TikTok with the newly introduced features. So what do you think about Instagram Reels and TikTok competition? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
