Instagram Reels: How to Use the Align Tool

Hold your camera in the same spot across clips

Instagram’s new Reels feature allow users to record 15-second videos that contain one or more clips. After you record a clip, you have the option to use an “Align” tool to make sure your device’s camera is in the same position before recording your next clip (this will make the transition from one clip to another appear more seamless). Our guide will show you how this works.
