It’s a feature that TikTok is famous for, and now users on Instagram can also make the most of the fast-forward option for Reels.
Meta gave users glad tidings about what they can now expect to benefit them while watching Reels, which is similar to TikTok. With this new change, you can go through Reels faster by fast-forwarding anything too long as per your liking.
We’ve seen Instagram get inspired by TikTok on various occasions, and this new feature is another example of just that. Remember, Reels are no longer limited to just 15 seconds. They are now several minutes long, so people who feel the need to save some time and skip parts can do so with ease through this method.
TikTok has had this feature for a while now, and Instagram seems to be following suit. If you’ve gotten the update already, you can make the most of seeing videos at 2x speed by simply pressing and holding the screen’s either side while seeing Reels.
The latest change will surely be adored from a viewer’s standpoint, but it seems like creators might not be too impressed. After all, the short video style is impacting people’s chances to focus more on longer-duration content. So yes, it’s going to be a mixed bag of reactions, if you ask us.
Meanwhile, in other news, the app is also working on the latest mobile video editor dubbed Edits. We did hope to see it launch by this month, but the tech giant ended up delaying it further again. This would be another competitive feat with CapCut, which is under the ownership of TikTok. Users will get more options for filming and making edits to videos seen on smartphones.
