Instagram’s New Update Fixes a Major Reel Issue

Instagram has finally rolled out an update that solves one of the most annoying problems users faced while watching Reels. Many people complained that when they tried to watch a Reel again after refreshing or reopening the app, it would disappear, and they had to search for it all over again. With this new update, Instagram has made it easier to rewatch Reels without losing them — making the experience smoother and more enjoyable for everyone.

Now, even if you refresh your feed or close the app, the Reel you were watching won’t disappear. You can simply go to your watch history or saved section to find it again. This update helps users save time and enjoy their favourite content without frustration.
