How to Share Instagram Trial Reels?

To share an Instagram reel as a trial, you should follow the regular steps for creating a reel. However, before you hit the share button, tap the toggle switch to activate the “Trial” option. Once you have shared your Trial reel, you can find it by going to your profile, where it will be displayed alongside any drafts you may have saved.  You can only see that it is a Trail reel, as it will not appear on the main grid of your profile or in the reels tab for others to view. Additionally, your followers cannot see the Trial reel in their feeds or in the reels section unless you choose to make it public later on. Instagram New Feature Update: Meta-Owned Photo and Video Sharing Platform Introduces Live Location Sharing, Sticker Packs and Nicknames; Check Details.

About 24 hours after you share a Trial reel, you can check engagement metrics in the reels viewer. Instagram will also provide insights on how the Trial performed to your previous ones. If your Trial reel is performing well, you have the option to choose “share with everyone.”  Alternatively, you can set Instagram to automatically share your Trial reel with your followers if it gets good views within the first 72 hours. Some followers might still come across with your Trial reel in other ways, such as through direct messages or on pages featuring reels with the same audio, location, or filter.
