Instagram has introduced a new feature that makes it easier for users to watch related content from creators: the ability to link reels together. This update eliminates the hassle of scrolling through a creator’s profile to find the continuation or related parts of a reel.
Watch Part 2 with a Single Tap
With this feature, when a creator links two or more reels, viewers will see a “Watch Part 2” button directly beneath the caption of the first reel. Tapping this button instantly takes users to the linked reel, creating a smooth and continuous viewing experience.
This convenient feature is particularly useful for creators who share multi-part stories, tutorials, or segmented content that spans multiple reels. It keeps audiences engaged and reduces friction in navigating through multiple related clips.
Simplifying Content Navigation
Before this update, viewers wanting to watch the sequel or continuation of a reel had to manually search the creator’s profile and scroll through their uploads. With the new linking feature, Instagram streamlines this process, making it easier to follow narratives or extended content series.
Boosting Creator Engagement
By providing an easy way to connect reels, Instagram helps creators keep viewers hooked for longer sessions, potentially increasing engagement and exposure. For audiences, this means an improved experience and less time lost hunting for follow-up content.
