How To Watch Instagram Reels
There are three main different ways to watch Instagram Reels:
- Open Instagram and scroll your feed until you find a Reels video. You will see the Reels icon on the bottom-left of the video. If you tap that icon, it will take you to the Reels section.
- Another way to watch Instagram Reels is to visit the Instagram Explore feed. You’ll see a Reels video at the top. Click on “Reels” and swipe down to watch more Reels videos.
- If you have already posted at least one Reels video, you can also watch other Reels by visiting your profile page and clicking the Reels icon.
How do you use Instagram reels?
Create Instagram Reels is pretty easy, just follow the 3-step instruction below:
- Step 1: First of all, you have to open the Instagram app on your smartphone

Similar to TikTok, Instagram Reels provides features like different audio from the Instagram Music library, several effects and a timer.
If you want to add background music, a song or audio, you can tap on “Audio option” to select songs from the Instagram music library; you can also add AR (Augmented Reality) effects to make your Reel even cooler and more eye-catching.
