Instagram is currently working on a feature related to Reels. It is said that the name of this feature is Locked Reels. With the help of this feature, people will be able to interact with Instagram users better through their Reels.

Soon you will be able to lock your Reels with the help of a password. This feature is coming especially for those who call themselves Instagram influencers. This feature will be available to everyone.

What is the Locked Reels feature?

As the name suggests, with the help of this feature, users can lock their Reels with a password. So, only those who know the password will be able to see the Reels. Many people would think that since it is a password-locked Reel, it will be seen by fewer people, but that is not the case.

Engagement will increase

If you put some restrictions on something, you feel more attracted to that thing. This feature will also work in the same way. For example, suppose a big influencer publishes his Reels with the Locked Reels feature and gives his followers a hint about the Reel password, like the date of the influencer's birthday. This way, people will be more likely to watch the Reels, and the loyal followers of that influencer will also be able to access them.

Who will benefit from Locked Reels?

The Locked Reels feature is designed primarily with influencers, brands, and creators in mind. It can be used for product launches or special campaigns. Some feel that this feature will make it difficult for users to scroll through the Reels. Instagram has not yet commented on the matter.
