TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Users of Instagram can now speed up the playback of videos in Reels, just like in TikTok. Quoting Tech Crunch, viewers can speed up videos by up to 2 times just by tapping the right or left side of the screen for a few moments.
A similar feature was previously introduced by TikTok. The video-sharing app initially only accommodated uploads of 15-second videos before eventually supporting longer videos. To enhance the viewing experience, TikTok added the option to speed up videos, solely for users to be able to see a lot of content quickly.
This goal is also implemented by Instagram Reels. The video duration, which was originally limited to only 15 seconds, has now been increased to 3 minutes. With this speed-up feature, Instagram hopes that users can watch more content in a short period of time.
The addition of this feature is Instagram's step to compete amidst the development of short video trends. However, despite its popularity, there are still concerns about the available time frame for watching these short videos.
This is not the first time Instagram has imitated TikTok features. Previously, the platform owned by Meta also introduced a feature called Remix, similar to Duet on TikTok.
