How Instagram Blend Feature Works
The “Blend” feature works similarly to Direct Messages (DMs) but with an added twist. Users can now share Reels within a group or one-on-one conversations and collectively create a custom shared Reels feed. Here’s how it works:
- Open a DM Chat: Start by opening a Direct Message (DM) chat with a friend or group on Instagram.
- Tap the Blend Icon: Look for the Blend icon at the top of the chat and click on it to activate the feature.
- Invite Your Friends: Use the “Invite” option to invite your friends or group members to join the Blend feed.
- Automatic Updates: Once your friends accept the invitation, the shared Blend feed will be created, and all the Reels shared within the conversation will be updated automatically for everyone to see.
