Instagram is heavily invested in Reels and we all know it's one of its priorities. The social media platform recently tested a TikTok-like, full-screen interface for its feed (although it wasn't the most likable) and is now testing a new feature that will convert video posts into Reels.

Instagram's new test turns video posts into reels

Instagram has confirmed that it is testing a feature that will automatically turn videos posted as a feed post into a reel. An Instagram spokesperson confirmed the news to TechCrunch by saying, "We're testing this feature as part of our efforts to simplify and improve the video experience on Instagram."

It is said that the idea behind this is to simplify the presence of videos on the platform. It is being tested with a small set of people and those who are in the test will get a pop-up in the app, which will suggest that the video posts will now be converted to Reels. A screenshot of the same was shared by Matt Navarra on Twitter and here is a look at it.
