Instagram has announced that videos recycled from TikTok and posted on its Reels platform will not show up on the feed of users who don’t follow you.
TikTok was banned in India alongside 58 Chinese apps last year amidst privacy concerns. Just a few weeks after the ban, Instagram launched Reels, a new tab to explore and create short videos. Within a short span of time, it became equally popular as TikTok. As the platform continues to grow, Instagram is making some changes to it. Usually, Instagram and Facebook favor posts containing original content. Instagram is all set to push this even further by changing the way reels appear on the feed. According to a report on Verge, Instagram wants to prevent users from posting TikTok videos on Reels.
