To show Reels on your feed after posting, you can follow these steps:
1. Open the Instagram app on your mobile device and navigate to your profile by tapping on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
2. Once you’re on your profile, tap on the “+” icon at the center of the bottom menu to create a new post.
3. On the next screen, you’ll see various options at the bottom of the screen. Swipe left until you reach the “Reels” option, which is represented by a clapperboard icon.
4. Tap on the “Reels” option, and you’ll be taken to the Reels creation screen. Here, you can record a new Reel or select a pre-recorded video from your device’s gallery.
5. After you’ve created or selected a video for your Reel, you can edit it using various creative tools such as adding music, text, stickers, effects, and more. You can also trim the length of the video if needed.
6. Once you’re satisfied with your Reel, tap on the right-pointing arrow icon in the bottom right corner to proceed to the next step.
7. On the next screen, you can add a caption and hashtags to your Reel, just like you would for a regular Instagram post. You can also choose to share the Reel to your Story, which will make it disappear after 24 hours.
8. Below the caption and hashtags, you’ll find a toggle switch labeled “Also Share to Feed.” Make sure this switch is turned on if you want your Reel to appear on your profile’s feed.
9. If you want to schedule the post for a later time, you can enable the “Schedule Post” option, which will allow you to choose a specific date and time for your Reel to be published. This feature is particularly useful if you want to plan your content in advance.
10. Once you’re ready to post your Reel, simply tap on the “Share” button in the bottom right corner. Your Reel will now be shared to your profile’s feed, and your followers will be able to see it when they visit your profile.
It’s worth noting that if your Instagram account is public, your Reels may also appear in the Explore tab, potentially reaching a wider audience. Additionally, you can enable the option to share your Reels to your Facebook account if you have it linked to your Instagram profile.
Remember that Reels are a great way to showcase your creativity and engage with your audience. Experiment with different styles, trends, and formats to find what works best for you. Have fun creating and sharing your Reels!
