Instagram has recently introduced some important updates, which are specially designed to attract TikTok users. These changes include important features like a profile photo grid and an extension in the length of the reel video. With these steps, Instagram is trying to prove that it is ready to challenge TikTok on every front.

Change in profile photo grid

Instagram has decided to make its profile photo grid rectangular. Earlier it was square, but now it will look like TikTok's profile page. This change has been made to give a great experience to the users so that the users coming from TikTok to Instagram can easily get into the new settings.

Instagram reel length increased

Instagram has increased the length of its reel video from 90 seconds to 3 minutes. This step has been taken based on the response of the users, as many creators were feeling the need to make longer videos. Now users will be able to upload long videos on Instagram as well.

Launch of 'Edits' app

Instagram has launched a new video editing app 'Edits', which is specially designed for social media creators. This app will be launched in February and will work like TikTok's CapCut app. 'Edits' aims to provide creators with a new tool to create and edit great videos.
