Another new feature is ‘Grooves’, which allows automatic sync between motions in a video and the beat of the song used, through visual beat technology. ‘Templates’ will provide trending templates for users to create reels, Meta added.
A report by TechCrunch noted that these creative updates were first introduced on Instagram’s Reels last year. It added that the ‘Grooves’ and ‘Templates’ features are similar to a few TikTok features.
Facebook Reels were rolled out in August 2022, with Meta allowing users to cross-post Reels from Instagram to Facebook.
