The differences between TikTok and the new Instagram Reels

We compared them and we understood that Mark Zuckerberg's social network did it again: once again he copied from the "neighbor"

(Graphic reworking: Gabriele Porro) Yesterday, Wednesday 5 August, Instagram presented the Reels to the world, short videos similar to those of TikTok. The platform owned by Mark Zuckerberg is not new to copying: for Stories it was clearly inspired by Snapchat. But, exactly as it happens during a class assignment, when the classmate asks you to pass him the answers and you: "Ok, but change something, so we don't deliver two identical checks", he thought it well to propose some variations, now and in the past.

Layout of Reels (left) and TikTok (right) compared (image: Gabriele Porro / Wired) We have analyzed the two products in detail. First of all, TikTok gives the possibility to record clips lasting 15 or 60 seconds, while Reels for the moment is limited to those of 15.

Therefore, you need to wait a few days to start to see the first Reels made natively on Ig .

TikTok, for its part, grants the possibility to the users, in tandem with the others to create video-collaborations and has an algorithm that suggests the clip according to the interests, thing that Instagram still does not have. The latter now has to simultaneously manage Stories, photos, short videos, Igtv, and the last to arrive Reels . In so doing, the new product might not get the right focus .
