Instagram has Added Some New Features In Reel
On Reels, Instagram has begun rolling out new features that will let you engage more with your audience and express your true self. A new maximum time and stickers for Reels, as well as additional audio options for the short-videos platform, are among the new additions.
According to Instagram, public profiles with over 10K followers that posted at least five reels over a 60-day period got nearly 2.5x as many followers as those in the same category who didn’t. As a result, the company asks users to use the new tools to publish more reels.
Instagram Reels now has some new features
Instagram has added new sound effects, including air horns, crickets, drums, and more. ”Our refreshed collection of sound effects can help you inject humour into a reel or help your audience get in their emotions while watching one”, the company said.
Additionally, Instagram Reels now allows you to simply import your own music. Use the import audio option to add commentary or background noise from any video on your camera roll that is at least five seconds long. Furthermore, many of the interactive stickers you’re used to seeing on Instagram Stories are also available on Reels, giving you even more ways to interact with your followers. For Reels, the following stickers have been made available:
- Poll: Making a two-part reel? Poll your audience on what should happen in your next video so that they can help shape the storyline themselves.
- Quiz: Put your audience’s skills to the test with this sticker.
- Emoji slider: Let your audience share how your content makes them feel with a sticker that makes the heart-eye emoji even more powerful.
Finally, Instagram is extending the length of Reels to up to 90 seconds, giving you more time to play. The company also mentions Templates, a feature that allows you to quickly make a reel by using another one as a template. The audio and clip placeholders are pre-loaded, so all you have to do now is add and trim your own videos.

Recently, pre-orders for the Apple Vision Pro were started. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst has reported sales of around 160,000 to 180,000 units of the Vision Pro. In context to the sales of Apple Vision Pro, Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters revealed in an interview that there is no need for the Netflix app in Apple’s VR headset.
In that interview, Peters also defined that the number of subscribers can’t justify the attempts to port an app for a platform. In the future, there may be a Netflix app for Apple’s VR headset, but currently, Netflix is adopting a wait-and-see approach. For now, YouTube and Spotify have no plans for dedicated apps.
As we also mentioned in the recent post of the Apple Vision Pro, you can use the apps via the browser in the Vision Pro. Apple’s own Apple TV+ streaming services are available on the Apple Vision Pro, which features “Apple Immersive Video” with Spatial Audio and 180° 3D footage in 8K resolution.
Similarly, Netflix has also a VR app which was launched in back 2015, that also offers VR Content and includes a 360° video for the Stranger Things Series, but for now, it’s not available in Apple Vision Pro. Netflix has a ton of VR movies that you can also check out.

WhatsApp beta for Android, in its 2.24.2.11 version, is rolling out a significant feature. Users can now create and share polls within their channels, fostering interactive engagement by collecting feedback, opinions, and preferences directly from their followers. The latest WhatsApp beta test for iOS, marked as version 24.1.10.76, is also geared up to incorporate this polling feature.
WhatsApp ensures that the choices made by channel followers during voting remain secure and anonymous. Currently available to beta testers, the feature to share polls in channels can be accessed by installing the latest version of WhatsApp beta for iOS and other Android phones via the TestFlight app. It will be available to everyone in the coming days.
While polls on various platforms often disappear within 24 hours, it remains to be seen whether WhatsApp will adopt a similar approach or introduce its own unique twist.
