Instagram: The reels will be locked, only those who know the secret code will be able to unlock it..

Instagram Locked Reels Feature: Ever since the threat of banning TikTok in the US has been looming, Instagram has been working on some new features. Recently there were reports that Instagram is working on a special app for iPad, and now there are reports of testing another interesting feature. Instagram influencers are going to benefit the most from this feature. According to leaks, you will soon be able to lock your reels with a secret code or password on this platform of Meta!

Reels will be locked through a password.

According to leaks, Instagram is working on a new feature 'Locked Reels'. As is clear from its name, with the help of this feature, users will be able to lock their reels by applying a password. This means that only those people will be able to see that reel will be its secret code or password. Recently, Instagram was seen testing this feature on its official design account (@design).

This feature will be helpful for companies.

The design account posted a reel that was locked and was asked to "enter the secret code" to view it. The hint of the code was given in the caption - "the first # of the caption". In this case, the first hashtag was #threads, and this was the code. On unlocking the reel, a banner with "coming soon" written on it appeared, which was probably a sign of the design account's arrival on threads. This feature can also prove to be very helpful for companies and brands. They can use it to launch new products, for special campaigns, or to create some suspense.

The locked feature is based on this feature

This idea of ​​​​locked reels is based on an existing feature of Instagram, in which users can hide stories and followers can unlock them by sending direct messages (DM). Instagram hasn't made any official announcement about this feature yet, but if it comes, it could become a new and fun way to interact between creators and users, and could also help compete with TikTok.
