New additions include the ability to crosspost reels from IG to FB, an ‘Add Yours’ ability, a feature reserved for Stories previously and the ability to turn any post into a reel automatically.
These features reduce the barrier to entry for users to get involved with reels - a feature that instagram is pushing above all others.
Creators can now enable auto captions on their posts. This is a great move for accessibility for the hard of hearing, and for those users that watch videos with the sound off.
