Users who don't have an Instagram account can trigger the App Clip by clicking on a link to a Reel that is shared via iMessage or other apps. App Clip allows users to watch the Reel in the Instagram app's native UI. In addition to this, it allows users to scroll through other popular videos and share them with others.

Tap your profile picture to go to your profile and then tap the Reels tab. If you don't see it, close the app, then open it again and you'll see the icon. Tap the Reel that isn't appearing on your profile grid. You'll see your Reels listed here, but not all may appear on your profile grid if you removed them.

It is important that you keep in mind that, although it is the same type of video content, the audience of Instagram and TikTok is not the same. While TikTok only dedicates its content to videos, Reels is part of Instagram, which has other functions and content also aimed at a more professional audience.

Social media giant Instagram is updating its user interface starting February 2022, the company said in a blog. Two major changes in the UI include the repositioning of the popular 'Reels' tab, which is at the centre of options that are available at the bottom of the screen.
