Instagram is testing a new layout with a select number of users that will display the latest content in the reels and hashtag search area. The test, for instance, disables the recent section that displays when some user searches using hashtags. Following the success of the Top and Reels sections, Instagram is currently launching a new feature called Templates. As the name implies, the functionality will assist users in making videos using existing Instagram videos in the same structure. The feature is beneficial to creators because it saves time that would otherwise be spent manually designing a video’s format.
