INSTAGRAM REEL

Instagram taking advantage of it grabbed the opportunity and launched the
Instagram reel feature. India is the fourth country where this feature has been
introduced.
Users can create short videos of up to 15 seconds. You can edit the video

sharing photos and videos but by adding this feature [i.e. reel] we can also
create content in a very creative manner.
You can find reel right alongside the boomerang and superzoom features.
Reels can be made by recording in silence, borrowing audios from other videos, or simply lip-sync to a popular song. You can even change the color of the videos,
use fast motion, slow motion quite easily.

and IGTV icon.
Unlike stories, reel stays in your profile like the post and IGTV content. You
can choose who you want to share the reel. If your account is public you can
share it in the explore section, If not you can just add it to your Instagram
story so that it can only be viewed by your followers.
