How to use Reels on Instagram – what are they and how do you get them?

Then simply tap the arrow at the bottom of the screen once you are ready to publish.

Instagram Reels also offer the option to include a caption, choose a cover image, add hashtags and publish the resulting video to Reels – for those with a public account.

Reels will appear on Explore and be stored on a tab on users’ profile page, as with IGTV.

Another option is available for both public and private accounts – the ability to post Instagram Reels to your Feed.

These Reels will appear on both the main grid and the Reels tab.
