Instagram Adds Following Filter within the Reels Tab

A minor Reels replace, which brings it extra into line with TikTok.

This week, Instagram’s added a brand new “Following” feed within the Reels tab, which lets you solely see Reels from accounts that you just comply with within the app.

Up until now, Instagram has solely supplied a single Reels feed, which shows a mix of posts from accounts that you just comply with in addition to advisable clips. However now, like TikTok’s “For You” and “Following” streams, you’ll be able to select to solely see the newest movies from the accounts you select.

Which might be not going to be overly useful on Instagram, as a result of most customers are following a spread of accounts within the app, and so they could not essentially need to see their Reels as a lot as they’re curious about their common posts and Tales.

I’d hazard a guess that most individuals comply with totally different accounts on TikTok than they do on Instagram (in the event that they comply with TikTok accounts in any respect), which, by extension, might additionally imply that your Reels “Following” feed shouldn’t be as entertaining as the principle show.

However good to have the choice anyway, I assume, in the event you do choose to see solely clips from the accounts that you just select.

You may change your Reels tab to “Following” by tapping on the “Reels” title within the higher left nook of the display screen, then selecting “Following” from the dropdown menu. You may simply change again to the principle Reels feed by tapping the again arrow on the prime left of display screen.
