New to Instagram? Here’s to download Reels on your smartphone
Instagram is one of the most popular photo and video sharing apps in the world. It offers hosts of features to users to share their photos and videos creatively. The list includes IGTV videos, Stories, Live Videos and Reels among others. But here is a thing, while all other posts get saved on users’ smartphones, reels don’t. Also, there is no way to save reels shared by other users on your smartphone.
For those of you who aren’t well-versed with Instagram, Reels are 60-second long videos with audio, AR effects, and other creative tools that users can share. You can record Reels in a series of clips or all at once. You can also use video uploads from your gallery to share as Reels. Essentially, they are Instagram’s version of TikTok.
Here’s how you can create a Reel on Instagram
Step 1: Swipe right in the app and tap the Reels option at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, tap the Plus icon at the top in the app and then tap the Reels option.
Step 2: Hold the video player icon in the middle to record the video.
Step 3: Select a suitable speed and add images, stickers and music among others to the reel.
Step 4: Tap the Preview button to view the reel before you share it.
Step 5: Finally tap the Share button to share it with all your followers.
