Instagram is trying so hard and so fast to become TikTok and makes so many changes that lets some users confused about many things, like how to hide the like counts on their own Reels.
Reels are nothing more than just short vertical videos that Instagram copied from TikTok. And it’s fine, except some options and UI features are a mess so far.
Instagram’s new Favourites feed is a nice way to stay up to date with your friends and favorite users activity. But for that, you have to maintain a list of Favourites.
Basically, all you need to do is add people to your Favourites, witch is not very different from following someone on Facebook.
Now that Instagram offers more than just one newsfeed, you need to learn to quickly switch between your favorite feeds.
Instagram now has three feeds. Besides the one generated by the algorithm, there is now a chronological feed and a favourites feed.
Instagram’s TikTok clone, Reels, is getting more and more attraction. And so, you might want to put some Reels, to grow your page or just be in trend.
But, if you want to tag some friends in your Reels, that is a little different from tagging someone in normal posts.
To tag someone, just add your Reel like you would normally do, but, on the last page before publishing, tap where is says “Tag people”.
This will open a new page with big + button. Tap that and then search and add your friends. When you’re done, tap… Done.
This is it. Easy peasy.
Reels, the Instagram version of TikToks, can be a good growth vector, especially, now when the Meta owned company focuses on it and even pays user to make Reels.
Like normal posts, Reels can be liked and you can see who hits the heart button on your own Reels.
To see who likes one of your Reels, just open one on you phone and tap the number the likes on the right side of the screen.
There will be a list with all the people that liked that specific Reels.
You will also see there the number of times the Reels has been played, to make an ideea of how good was it.
