Apparently a new function has been discovered for the popular Instagram reels. Apparently there is the possibility to have the short videos recommended on Facebook.
Facebook seems to want to link the platforms Instagram and Facebook more and more. Two months ago were already the messengers of both services merged. Now a new possible step in this direction has been leaked from Twitter user and mobile developer Alessandro Paluzzi: As screenshots show, Facebook is currently working on the option to share Instagram Reels in the Facebook News Feed and Facebook Watch.
Instagram: This is behind the new function for the Facebook reels
Facebook and Instagram seem to continue to merge. The stories can be transferred to the other service and the messengers were merged two months ago. There are now signs that the reels will also become a function of both services. Apparently, Facebook is currently working on the function to post Instagram Reels in the Facebook News Feed and on Facebook Watch. The new function is most likely an attempt to further establish the Instagram Reels and to keep up with the direct competition TikTok. Facebook is constantly working to make its reels more attractive for a wide audience and for the creators.
No link to the Facebook account
The reel is recommended with the Instagram user name via Facebook News Feed and Watch – without being linked to the Facebook account. The function can be activated for all posted reels or for individual reels. In addition, users can activate the new option once or for all of their reels.
Should the feature be rolled out, this can be interpreted as an attempt by Facebook to establish reels even more widely. Since the feature was released in Germany a few months ago, Reels have already grown in popularity. In order to keep up with the competing app TikTok, Facebook is continuously working to make Reels even more attractive for a broad audience and creators. It’s been like this since last week Instagram shopping also in reels possible.
