The capability to manage the presentation of short-form video content within the primary Instagram browsing experience is a subject of interest for many users. This involves methods to reduce or eliminate the automatic display of these videos, often referred to as Reels, in the main feed alongside posts from followed accounts.
Modifying the presence of this type of content allows for a more curated browsing experience, potentially focusing attention on static images and longer-form videos. Historically, Instagram’s feed was primarily composed of user-uploaded photographs; the increased prevalence of short-form video has prompted user interest in customization options. This addresses a desire for users to tailor their content consumption habits.
