Instagram has introduced a new update that makes it easier for users to find previously viewed Reels videos. The new watch history feature allows quick access to short videos you’ve watched before, even if you didn’t save them at the time.
What is Instagram Reels Watch History?
Reels has become one of the most popular parts of Instagram, with millions of users spending hours watching short videos every day. However, finding a video again after scrolling past it can be difficult. The watch history feature solves this problem by letting users revisit the Reels they’ve already watched.
With this update, users can access their watch history in chronological order directly from the app. A similar feature has been available on TikTok for some time, and now Instagram is bringing the same convenience to its platform. This addition makes the Reels experience more practical and user-friendly.
Users can view previously watched videos from a dedicated section and use the date filter to search through older content more easily.
How to view your Instagram Reels watch history
Accessing your Reels watch history only takes a few steps. Here’s how to do it:
- Open the Instagram app.
- Go to your profile page.
- Tap the menu icon in the top right corner and select Settings.
- Go to the Your Activity section.
- Tap Watch History.
- View your previously watched Reels and use the date filter if needed.
This update makes it much easier for users to return to videos they’ve seen before without having to search endlessly. The new feature is being rolled out gradually to accounts around the world.
