Instagram never stops innovating and this time, the new feature promises to greatly (and I mean greatly!) ease the lives of content creators: we present Edits, the new video editor fully integrated into the platform! If you love creating Reels and Stories but find it complicated to use multiple apps to edit your videos, this tool has arrived to become your new best friend.
No more exporting and importing files between different apps. With Edits, you have a powerful set of editing tools directly in the Instagram creation flow, making the process faster, more intuitive, and efficient.
