Instagram is testing early access for Reels

Some creators now have the option to preview their Reels 24 hours before their scheduled release – a feature that rewards loyalty and strengthens relationships. Instagram also has a new feature in store for Stories.

Instagram recently introduced one of its most requested features: Creators can finally integrate links into Reels. The catch? To access the feature, you need Meta's paid subscription service, Meta Verified – and that can be expensive.

Those who prefer to avoid the costly link integration can still access a range of exciting Reels features without a Meta Verified subscription; for example, a new feature that allows Reels to be shown to followers 24 hours in advance. Followers are notified via pop-up that they can see the short video a day before everyone else.
