I don’t mind it becoming more of a video platform but the problem is that I can’t even edit my clips. It’s not giving every user equal opportunities so to speak.

I got excited thinking that’s a new feature I was always missing until I found out that some users / accounts were able to do that all along. I had this option for maybe a month and then it miraculously disappeared. On my account, both personal and business I’m not able to edit my reels anymore, rearrange clips. I always enjoyed using Instagram, for me it was a good platform to express my creativity until Instagram became bias and stopped giving everyone the same user experience. Instagram, please stop trying to copy tik tok and listen to what your users actually want. This can be annoying in itself as Instagram doesn’t show the amount of views on a multi image/video post, only the amount of likes. Also, Instagram is forcing every video posted to be a reel, unless of-course it’s a multiple media post - which in turn people often feel forced to post, instead of a one picture/video post, as to avoid the post being a reel. Tik tok actually has (imo) a worse saving system anyways, so Instagram copying it is a very strange and annoying move. I preferred instagram’s old saving method where you could hold down the save option icon and add a video to multiple save section folders, OVER the new way of saving, which is to press the three dots at the top of the video and select save and THEN add to a collection, meaning you can only add the video to one collection, unless you want to spend the time going all the way to the other collections you wanted the post in and going into its settings and adding the post manually. Recently, Instagram has decided to copy half of tik tok’s features - this includes their ‘reels’, which are just incredibly annoying and out of sync with the rest of the app. Some Instagram features may not be available in your country or region. * Discover brands and small businesses, and shop products that are relevant to your personal style. * Get inspired by photos and videos from new accounts in Explore. * Watch videos from your favourite creators and discover new content through Instagram video and Reels. * Post photos and videos to your feed that you want to show on your profile. * Create and discover short, entertaining videos on Instagram with Reels.
