Instagram now lets you create your own 2022 recap reel: How to use this feature

The year 2022 is coming to an end. Ahead of the new year celebrations, Instagram has started rolling out a new feature for its users across the globe that will let them create their own 2022 recap reel and share it with their followers on the platform.

Users can choose anywhere between three to 14 photos and videos, which the platform will then stitch together into a complete reel. Users can further customise their 2022 Recap Reel by choosing a narrated template from artists and influencers such as Bad Bunny, DJ Khaled, Badshah or Stranger Things star Priah Ferguson.

Goodbye to 2022 👋

CNET reports that Instagram will start making these templates available to its users globally starting today until several days into 2023. During this time, users will be able to create and share their recap reels on the platform.

For the unversed, prior to 2021, Instagram users had to create their own version year-end feature wherein they would pick their top nine images and share them in a photo grid format. However, in 2021, the Meta-owned photo and video-sharing platform rolled out a ‘Year in Review’ feature wherein it allowed users to select up to 10 stories to share them with their followers. This year, Instagram is not restricting users to a specific format. And so, it is allowing users to pick both images and videos for their 2022 recap reel — a format that has served the company right this year.
