Instagram Merges Video Posts and Reels

Moving forward they’ll also consolidate the video and Reels tab to create one tab for all of your feed videos. 

While this current change will make the distinction between Reels, Stories, and Lives more defined, many users aren’t fully onboard the video train just yet (more on that, later).

NOTE: Meta says videos posted prior to this change will remain as videos and won’t become Reels. Though, it’s unclear whether they’ll be housed in a separate tab on your Instagram profile. We’ll keep you posted!
