Facebook to aggregate Reels, long form & live videos in new ‘Video’ tab

Facebook also introduced horizontal scroll which will show recommended reels so you can easily switch between long and short-form content.

The Videos tab can be found on the bottom bar on iOS, whereas on Android devices, it is placed on the top shortcut bar which changes ‘based on the parts of the app you use the most.’

Facebook also revamped the video ‘Explore’ section to show more popular topics using a mixture of human input and machine learning. It can be accessed by tapping the search icon in the Video tab.

People who have linked their Facebook and Instagram on Meta’s Account Center will now be able to view and comment on Reels from Instagram without having to switch apps.
