The feature works by scanning selected clips and stitching together highlights, leaving users with a baseline video that they can refine manually. While similar capabilities already exist in dedicated editors like CapCut and Adobe Firefly, integrating this directly into the Instagram camera keeps creators within the app ecosystem. Currently, the tool is available exclusively for iPhone users, accessible either during recording or via the Reels gallery.
This update follows a series of creator-focused adjustments, including an audio-swap tool for existing posts and the testing of “Series,” which allows for the grouping of Reels into structured playlists. The announcement coincides with a critical week for parent company Meta, as Instagram head Adam Mosseri prepares to testify in a high-profile legal battle regarding social media addiction and its impact on younger users.
