Instagram is working on a “Spins” feature for Reels, its short-form video TikTok clone.
The feature, which was first spotted by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, would allow other users to swap out the text or audio in your Reels. Instagram says Spins is an internal prototype and isn’t being tested externally.
The feature could be used as a way for users to start trends by creating templates that other people can then put their own creative spin on.
If there’s a trending template that somebody created, you would be able to swap the text or audio to change the meaning to fit another scenario. For example, you could record a video of your dog yawning and then share it with the text “Me on Monday mornings.”
If you toggle on Spins, someone else could reshare your video and swap out the text with something like “Me trying to stay awake in class.”
The screenshot also indicates that users would be able to switch the feature on and off for different Reels via a “Spins” toggle that would appear before you publish a Reel.
