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.
Users can now create posts with reminders on Instagram, which people can receive notifications for. This is a valuable feature for capturing interest in a physical event, merch launch or new music.
