Instagram is engaged on a function that may suggest Reels to you and a pal based mostly on movies you have shared with one another and your particular person pursuits. Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi unearthed the feature, which is named Mix. Instagram confirmed to TechCrunch that it is testing Mix internally and it hasn’t began trialing it publicly. It could be the case that Mix by no means sees the sunshine of day, although it is at all times intriguing to search out out concerning the concepts Instagram is toying with.
The platform hasn’t revealed extra particulars about how Mix will work, although the thought appears to be that Instagram customers and one in every of their besties will uncover new Reels collectively as a substitute of one in every of them discovering a video they like and DMing it to the opposite. It might make sense for Mix to have an indicator that the opposite particular person has already seen a selected Reel in order that the 2 individuals who have entry to the feed can begin chatting about it.
TikTok does not have a function alongside these strains, as TechCrunch notes, so Mix may give Instagram a bonus relating to of us who like to take a look at short-form movies collectively. As with lots of the different options platforms of this ilk introduce, Mix essentially appears to be about rising engagement.
