Serving more than 1 trillion users, Instagram recently added the Reels feature to its users and connected its users more. It’s hard not to keep watching after watching a video on Reels, which has garnered as much attention as the Stories feature. Meta shared the details of the new era that will start in Reels to connect Instagram users more to the platform.
Instagram Reels opens to developers
Social media platforms like Instagram offer an interface called API to get support from third-party developers. Thanks to this interface, each developer can create their own utilities with the conditions set by Instagram. To date, Instagram has provided API services for most of its features, finally Reels is among them. Thus, the first spark was thrown in the emergence of applications that will improve our Reels experience.

Explaining that the API will be available from tomorrow, Meta allows 25 percent of users to access this interface in the first stage. In the near future, this rate will be increased to 100 percent. Here is Meta’s full statement:
“Whether people use Instagram naturally or through a third party; We are always trying to improve our content publishing and consumption experiences. After constantly hearing from our developer community that Reels is a top priority, we are excited to introduce Reels to a set of extremes you may already be familiar with.”

If you are a developer, you may be one of the users of the API that Meta will offer starting tomorrow. For this, you need to be from the 25 percent set by Meta. Since this is random, we have to say that your job is left to chance at this stage.
Meta previously said that Reels allows Instagram users to spend 20 percent more time on the platform. This is a huge success for Meta as the purpose of social media platforms is to keep us on the screen more.
