Instagram has rolled out a new \u201cReels Visual Replies\u201d feature that lets users reply to comments on posts with Reels. Now, when users choose to reply to a comment, they\u2019ll see a new option that allows them to select the Reels button to create a video reply. The social media giant notes that the video reply will appear as a sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe love the communities that creators have built on Instagram,\u201d Instagram said in a tweet announcing the new feature. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re excited to launch Reels Visual Replies, a new feature to interact with your audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instagram\u2019s newest feature further integrates Reels into its wider social media platform. It\u2019s worth noting that the new feature is similar to TikTok\u2019s video replies, which allow users to reply to comments on their content with video responses. TikTok rolled out the feature last year to give users a way to offer more context about their videos and answer questions. Considering the popularity of the feature, it\u2019s no surprise that Instagram has launched a similar feature for its own TikTok-clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The launch of Reels Visual Replies comes as Instagram has been rolling out several new features. Most recently, the company introduced a new end-of-year \u201cPlayback\u201d IG Stories time capsule feature. The feature leverages the Stories Archive, so users can customize and select up to 10 stories to share with their followers. To be eligible for this feature, users need to have posted more than three stories this year or have Stories Archive turned on. Instagram suggests Playback posts for you, but you also have the option to pick what you want to share. The new feature is currently available to users for \u201cseveral weeks.\u201d
