With Reels, users can now create up to 60 seconds short-form, entertaining videos right within the Instagram camera and edit them using more advanced video editing tools. These include timer, countdown and our align tool, which gives you a fun and seamless way to line up different takes when creating your Reels. You can also now discover, watch and interact with Reels in a new, dedicated space in the app.
