“Instagram Releases Global GIF Comment Feature and New Reels Editor”

Instagram finally released GIF support in the comments section for all users globally. Previously, GIF comments could only be made when replying to Stories, but now users can also provide GIF comments both in posts and Reels.

The GIF comments themselves were first seen on Instagram in February. However, at that time it was still only a trial and only a few users got the feature and it was limited to the iOS platform. Well, now all users can feel it.

How to access it, just tap the new icon to the right of the comments column to open the Giphy library and from there you can choose a suitable GIF to embed in the comments. Of course, you can still add normal comments in the form of text and emoticons.

The presence of GIF comments will certainly make the comment segment on Instagram more expressive and interesting. Especially for fans of “meme” who often use GIFs as a medium to channel their humor. So, get ready for the comment section on Instagram to be flooded with funny and hilarious GIFs.

In addition to GIF comment support, Instagram is also announcing a new Reels editor that will be available globally in the coming weeks. The new editor has more complete features, including Split, Replace, and Speed ​​to adjust video speed.
