Reels is now the primary driver for engagement on Instagram. So, the company has added another feature to further boost Reels on the platform. Instagram is adding a Reels Visual Replies feature that lets creators reply to comments on their reels with another reel video.
While replying to a comment on a Reel, you will see the Reels icon on the left side of the text box. Tap on it and create a Reels reply to that comment.
While using it for the first time, it says that the reply reel will appear in the comment thread and everywhere you share reels. That means the reply reel will also be shown in your Instagram Feed and the Reels section of your profile.
Watch the video embedded below to understand how the new feature works.
