"If I could have back all the time I've spent searching Instagram in vain for a Reel I saw in passing - trying for weeks to come up with the right combination of hashtags or keywords that would bring it back - well, I'd have back hours, I'd guess. Enough time to go to the gym or call my mom."
"Despite my initial reservations, I've come to really enjoy Reels. It's developed a sort of culture of its own, and I've noticed that its algorithm leads me to very different types of content than I get shown on TikTok. (I see a lot of front-facing videos of people talking about topics I'm interested in on TikTok; on Reels, I tend to get more slice-of-life videos of people doing things outside. I don't understand why this is different.)"
Instagram Reels now provides a watch history that records every Reel viewed during the past 30 days. Users can access Watch history through Profile > Settings > Your activity > Watch history and can sort results from oldest to newest or by author. The feature makes it easier to find Reels that were seen but not saved, saving time otherwise spent searching via hashtags or keywords. Reels content often differs from TikTok, leaning toward slice-of-life outdoor videos, and Instagram has rolled out features that reflect heavy Reels viewing and frequent DM sharing.
