The move follows the recently imposed ban on TikTok in India. Now Instagram&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/tag\/instagram-reels\/\">Reels<\/a>&nbsp;will aim to fill in this void created by the sudden ban.&nbsp; As per&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/tag\/instagram\/\">Instagram<\/a>, videos make up over one-third of the Instagram posts in India, including both long-form and shorter-format videos. The service also noticed that live-streaming of videos became an increasing trend during the pandemic.&nbsp;Also Read &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/news\/instagram-starts-testing-reels-in-india-could-launch-soon-901281\/\">Instagram starts testing Reels in India, could launch soon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly 45 percent of the videos shared on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/tag\/instagram\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;were about 15 seconds or smaller in duration. This prompted the creation of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/tag\/instagram-reels\/\">Instagram Reels<\/a>. The company also states that Reels is the future of entertainment and that it will cover everyone from big media companies to individual content creators. Moreover, Reels is currently being launched only in a few countries. India will be the fourth country to get the feature after Brazil, Germany, and France.&nbsp;Also Read &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/news\/instagram-is-soon-expected-to-add-video-note-feature-to-threads-app-900386\/\">Instagram is soon expected to add video note feature to Threads app<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How does Instagram Reels work?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/tag\/instagram-reels\/\">Instagram Reels<\/a>&nbsp;will let users create short format videos which by default will be available to share with Instagram&rsquo;s Explore tab. However, users will also have the option to share their videos directly to their own stories and feed. The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/tag\/instagram\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;Explore section will remain unchanged. However, there will be some dedicated space for Reels content on the top. This should be implemented in a new update soon.&nbsp;Also Read &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.in\/features\/adobe-photoshop-camera-app-good-photo-editing-app-for-instagram-lovers-897311\/\">Adobe Photoshop Camera: Good app for Instagram lovers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instagram has also revealed that once the app picks up pace, it will also be setting up a monetization model.
