Instagram has completely redesigned its Reels editor to make it easier to use.

Meta is gearing up to roll out a big update to its reels, always with the goal of countering the dominance of TikTok.

Instagram is currently releasing a number of updates to Reels, including an updated and fixed editing tool. Available on iOS and Android, this new design lets you manage video clips, stickers, and texts on a single screen, according to Meta. “This makes it easier to align and sync your video elements at the right time in a more visual way,” Meta wrote on her blog. The American giant also points out that more editing tools will be coming, always in an attempt to counter the dominance of TikTok.

Meta is getting ready to release a big update for their reels.

Video creators looking to become popular and expand their Instagram follower base will be able to test audio and hashtags on what Meta calls “a trending destination.”The tab is available directly from the control panel. You can see how many times other users have used a particular song and choose whether to add sound to your own video or save it for later.

This should help creators identify what’s hot on Reels at a particular time so they can join those trends too. In TikTok, this is a very simple operation. So this is an important update for Instagram.

Separately, Instagram is also updating its Reels info page to give creators more insight into how their videos perform. It will be possible to visualize the total watch time as well as the average watch time to better understand how users interact with different videos, in addition to the number of views. If it turns out that most of them give up after a while, the creators can conclude that their audience is less interested in this or that element, and adjust to the next creations. In addition, you will receive notifications about who subscribed to you from a particular video.

At the same time, Instagram will expand the monetization feature through donations to more countries. More countries will be eligible in the coming weeks, including Australia, Canada, France, Mexico, New Zealand and the UK. In addition, creators will be able to see exactly who has made donations so they can thank them if they wish.
