Instagram Reels will show your friends the videos you liked. Hopefully, that doesn't ruin your life.
- Instagram Reels has launched a “With friends” feature that shows you a video feed that your friends have liked.
- The feature is hoping to assist users in bonding over videos; although, it could get weird quickly.
- The new feature accelerates a common practice by DMing Reels to friends you think they might like.
- Adam Mosseri, Instagram’s head, has said: “We want Instagram to not only be a place where you consume entertaining content, but one where you connect over that content with friends.”
- The new Reels feature will work differently from the old ‘Following’ tab and only shows likes from mutual friends, not from celebrities or other creators.
- In addition, it will only show Reels videos eligible for recommendation, meaning they must come from public accounts in good standing.
- Ultimately, the “With friends” feature is algorithmic, where content served is based on what Instagram thinks you will like.
- The feature is hoping to minimize embarrassment and awkward moments.
- While it is still possible to be caught by your friends, this new feature will show likes from mutual friends and eligible videos only.
- As always, it is crucial to stay vigilant and safe on social media and trust no one.
