Instagram is testing a new method of integrating Reels within Stories by showing playing specific Reels in their full length within the Stories feed.
Full Lengeth Reels In Stories
Instead of only viewing the first 15 seconds and needing to tap on the screen to move to the next one to be able to view the whole thing, some Instagram users are now reporting the ability to see full-length Reels playing within the Stories feed.
It seems that Meta is introducing new features for Reels which indicates they want to make it popular but at the same time it is confusing to creators because they recently suspended the Reel Play Bonus Program.
