News & Reviews:   Reels

A recent study by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that short videos have been proven to have an impact on the individual's brain. That said, what should you know about it?

Instagram is testing a new feature that will allow you to schedule stories directly through the app. So, what should you know about it?

Finally, Instagram will allow users to download Reels in the app. The announcement was made by Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri on his Instagram broadcast channel. However, this feature is only available in the US for now.

Meta has been introducing new features on its social media platforms recently in an effort to compete with TikTok, including implementing a new way to create Instagram Reels using previously shared Stories. Now, Meta is allowing users to cross-post their Instagram Reels to Facebook and even permitting users to take advantage of the monetisation programmes offered on both platforms by using the same content.

Wait...Does Facebook have a Live Shopping feature? Yes, but it has more to do with scheduled live broadcast events. In case you didn't know, it works similarly to Shopee Live when the seller tags products during Facebook Live videos but it's getting cancelled soon.

Back in January, Instagram introduced its subscription service for the creators to earn a profit through what they post on the social media platform. However, the subscriptions only covered minimal content, such as stories and live streams. Now, Instagram will be adding photos, videos, or Reels into the package, which is one of the most requested changes by the creators.

Instagram's Reels was previously seen as a TikTok rip-off, but users might care less about that now as the platform has witnessed a substantial growth. To bring an even better experience, Instagram has revealed a few new features, including bumping up the time limit to 90 seconds.

For most people, social media has become the preferred method. As an example, Malaysians love to share stuff on Facebook every day. But now, Meta wants people to directly share to Facebook Reels.

It looks like Instagram has given up on its attempt to capture the long-form video market following the company’s move to kill off the IGTV standalone app. In an official blog post on Monday (28 February 2022), Instagram confirmed that it is discontinuing support for the IGTV app thus ending the service as a whole. RIP!

If you've been enjoying adding a song to your Stories since the release of the feature, you'll like this new one that Instagram is testing. According to the source, the social media platform is testing a new option for users to add music to feed posts too!
