What do you think of Instagram’s new “trial reels” feature?

Question

It lets creators test content with non-followers before deciding to share it with their audience. A game-changer for experimenting or unnecessary extra steps?

Curious to hear your take!

As someone who mostly works in SEO, I'm not really into social media, especially Instagram. But what’s this new feature about? What’s its goal?

Okay, I tested my content. So, I can choose based on the reactions of non-followers? If there’s no engagement, I won’t post it, and if there is, I will?

I’m definitely interested in this. It would help me avoid any potential mistakes by getting feedback first. Seems like a smart way to perfect my posts.    :-)

I'm on board with this. It gives me a chance to get feedback from non-followers before committing to my feed.

This could be really useful for testing content. I often hesitate before posting, so having the chance to try it out first sounds like a great idea.

Mark Lane · Answer

I like the idea of keeping my content more controlled and experimenting with non-followers first. It could save me from sharing something that's not ready.
