Instagram doesn’t like Reels from TikTok

Multiple reports have indicated that Instagram needs users to stop posting their TikTok content on Reels. Last week, Instagram announced tweaks to its ranking algorithm to highlight actual content ahead of reproduced content. It seems like the social platform isn’t pleased with its Reels coming from its competitor platform, TikTok.

The new algorithm would enable users to tag themselves in a specific category such as ‘Rapper’ or ‘Photographer’. These specific tags would show up after finally placing in a post. Users will get more credit for their own unique content instead of sharing something collected from other sources.

New Algorithm to stop Reels with TikTok Logo

The social platform is moving forward to try and give actual content more value rather than posting shared content. The changes have confirmed that Instagram is largely focusing on promoting the right content on its platform. The Meta-owned app has already pushed against sharing content.

Instagram started an algorithm in 2021 against Reels using the TikTok logo on those contents. Most people believe that Reels is actually a mirror of TikTok contents and they aren’t entirely wrong. It is important that Meta also launch Reels on Facebook in 2021 and on Instagram in 2020. The key objective was a response to the massive popularity of TikTok.
