Tessa Lyons-Laing, Reels’ product director, explained users were requesting the changes and how that feedback is key to developing the perfect product for Creators: “We continue to improve Reels based on people’s feedback, and these updates make it easier to create and edit. While it’s still early, we’re seeing a lot of entertaining, creative content.”
