What\u2019s new in Reels?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Instagram has rolled out a new Reels feature designed to make your social experience more interactive. By showing which Reels your friends have liked or commented on, the platform aims to spark conversations and strengthen connections with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearing in the top-right corner, a new tab displays the profile pictures of friends who have interacted with the Reels content. Icons like a heart or a conversation bubble indicate whether they liked or commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To encourage interaction, a \u201creply bar\u201d appears at the bottom of Reels, letting you easily respond directly to content that your friends engage with- sent as a direct message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
