Meta-owned Instagram is copying yet another feature from TikTok. This time, it\u2019s the ability for users to play a reel at 2x speed by long pressing on the right or left side of their screen. <\/p>\n

When TikTok first launched, videos could only be 15 seconds long. As the years passed and TikTok rose in popularity, the social<\/a> network rolled out support for longer videos. With this, TikTok introduced the option for users to speed up videos, as they had been trained to consume content more quickly.<\/p>\n

Instagram Reels also started off by allowing users to post videos that were only up to 15 seconds in length. Today, users can share videos that are up to 3 minutes long. Like TikTok, Instagram wants to give users the option to watch more content quickly with the new fast-forward option.<\/p>\n

The ability to fast-forward a video increases the chances of a viewer actually reaching the end of longer videos, especially since the idea behind Reels is to offer users quick, bite-sized pieces of entertainment. This can be attributed to concerns that the rise of short-form video content may be negatively impacting our attention spans<\/a> and ability to focus on longer-form content.<\/p>\n

Given that Instagram Reels is a direct clone of TikTok, it\u2019s not surprising that the platform is borrowing specific features from the short-form video platform. It\u2019s not the first time Instagram has done so either, as its Remix feature is a copy of TikTok\u2019s Duet tool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
