Instagram launches 'Reels' video feature

Instagram has launched a new video feature called Reels as it looks to challenge TikTok.
 
The feature allows users to shoot, edit and post 15-second video clips set to snippets of music or audio. 
 
The videos can be viewed via a new portal on Instagram's Explore page, which curates and personalizes posts based on a user's preferences.
 
Instagram first launched in 2010 as a place to share photos but expanded into video in 2014. 
 
Since then, it has launched Intsa Stories and IGTV as a home for longer videos.
 
TikTok is threatening to unseat Facebook-owned Instagram, which has one billion global users, as the app of choice for a predominantly young user base.
