Instagram has introduced a Watch History feature for Reels, allowing users to revisit previously watched videos. The feature was announced by Adam Mosseri on Threads and is designed to simplify the process of finding past Reels.
Feature Details and Access
The Watch History will display all Reels viewed on an account, with sorting options by date and filtering by specific accounts or date ranges. Users can access it via the app by navigating to Profile > Menu > Settings > Your activity > Watch history. This tool aims to reduce reliance on workarounds like liking or messaging Reels for later access.
Release and User Experience
The Watch History feature is rolling out in the latest version of the Instagram app. It targets users who frequently watch Reels, though heavy users may still face challenges with finding older content due to extensive lists. The update intends to enhance user experience by making content discovery more intuitive.
