Also, a step further into integrating more and more reels on the Instagram platform. So, you want to know how it’s done? You’ve come to the right place! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to reply to Instagram comments with reels.
Reply To Instagram Comments With Reels
First off, you need to post a reel on Instagram from your account since, at the moment, you cannot reply to comments on your posts with reels.
Then, wait for it to get some traction and comments.
Once you find a relevant comment you wish to reply to, click on the Reply button.
You will see that along with the text and emojis, a new blue camera icon appears on the left. Once you click on it, it will open the familiar reels interface for you to create a reply reel to the comment.
As mentioned earlier, the comment will be present on your response reel in the form of a sticker. All the usual filters, stickers and music options will be available for you to edit the response reel.
Once you are done, tap on Next and you can share the reel to your Instagram feed, Facebook, tag more people in it and more.
Now, tap on Share at the bottom and that’s how you can reply to Instagram comments with reels.
Your comment reply with reels will have a preview of it and any of your followers will be able to view it.
