| Instagram is developing a new function to turn Stories into reels |
Instagram is keen to get people to use Reels as much as possible as it tries to keep pace with the rise of TikTok and follow the growing trend of usage.
The most recent development in this area is a new "grouping" option that is currently being tested internally. This allows users to convert story frames into a reel video.
The new method allows you to insert story frames into Reels clips. The first step is to display all the frames in the story in order.
Then you can have the platform automatically produce a video that combines the elements of each frame. In the final step, the platform recommends aligning the audio with the new Reels clip, which will automatically sync with the transition you created.
The real benefit of this tool is how editing is done and how story elements are turned into a role.
It is strange to see the platform trying to merge two functions on the one hand and advise against the same functions on the other. It still prevents users from re-sharing normal feed posts to Stories.

The latest update in this area comes in the form of a 'Repost' sticker that allows users to share feed posts to Stories in a more creative way.
The platform has tried to prevent feed posts from being forwarded to Stories and other options entirely. Platform administrators often find that while users are eager to repost their feed posts in Stories, their audience is not too eager to see those posts.
However, the platform makes it public and is actively looking for ways to allow users to share stories using Reels.
The platform said file consumption is growing rapidly. But there is still a long way to go from the TikTok platform, and with TikTok still dominating the download tool, this is a potential existential threat to IG, especially as younger users increasingly lean towards TikTok. .
It is similar to MySpace: with the emergence and popularity of Facebook among younger audiences, its expansion over time has led to the closure of MySpace.
For Instagram, there is still a long way to go from this level. But in this case, these trends are important. Hence, it makes sense for the platform to look for additional options to avoid losing users if possible.
