Not only does Reels fail in every way as a TikTok clone, but it’s confusing, frustrating and impossible to navigate. TAYLOR You can also create a reel by swiping right in Instagram to enter the camera and then selecting Reels, a button next to Story. The main one being that TikTok removes all of the friction that normally comes with trying to make a good video. TikTok will automatically select highlights from your videos and edit them in a way to match the beat of whatever sound you choose. This makes it so easy to create a really engaging, smooth video in under 10 seconds from a ton of footage.
