Delhi Delhi: WhatsApp has borrowed many features from Instagram over the years. The WhatsApp Status functionality is inspired by Instagram Stories, while the Channel feature is similar to Instagram Channels. While Meta plans to make the features uniform across all its apps, one important functionality is missing from WhatsApp, that is Reels. Meta also hasn't said anything about adding Reels or similar functionality to WhatsApp, but users can still access short — and sometimes addictive — videos directly from Instagram.
Instagram Reels on WhatsApp
Step 1: Make sure the WhatsApp app version on your Android phone or iPhone is updated.
Step 2: Look for the Meta AI icon on the home screen of WhatsApp. This is represented by an animated blue-pink circle at the top of the chat. Tap it.
Step 3: The Meta AI chatbot will open on the screen with a text box at the bottom – exactly as a regular chat screen looks.
Step 4: Enter a text prompt like “Show me Instagram Reels” and send it to the chatbot.
Step 5: WhatsApp will immediately show some reels in the chat that users can tap to view within the app.
If a user wants to view Reels from a particular Instagram page or creator, they can add the name to the text prompt to see their latest and popular Reels. It's worth noting that WhatsApp will show a handful of Reels without endless scrolling like Instagram. This feature will work only if the user has enabled Meta AI on their WhatsApp. Another thing to remember is that Meta AI will not work unless the user has accepted the terms and conditions for chatting with businesses and bots on WhatsApp.
