Instagram has introduced a new feature for viewing Reels videos that draws inspiration from TikTok. Users can speed up videos to 2x by pressing and holding on the left or right edge.
This feature was added by TikTok after the platform started supporting longer videos, allowing users who don’t want to spend too much time on each clip to increase the playback speed. With Reels on Instagram now supporting videos up to 3 minutes long, it makes sense for them to add this feature for the same reason.
