Meta is going to bring a big change to its social media platform Facebook. Facebook has announced that every video uploaded to the platform will now be shown as a reel on the platform. Whether it is a short clip or a full-length video, all content will now appear under the Reels ecosystem. Meta has confirmed this change through a blog post, stating that "you will continue to see reels of all lengths related to your interests and the growing community of creators on Facebook." Why is Facebook making this change This change mirrors a similar move made by Instagram in 2022, where videos less than 15 minutes were automatically shared as reels. Meta is now planning to bring a new feature to its platform, which will help simplify the user experience and promote the use of AI tools. More creative tools for everyone
Now that all videos will be posted as Reels, users are expected to get access to advanced creative options, such as:
Audio edits
Filters and visual effects
On-screen text and stickers
This upgrade is especially important for creators, as it allows them to use the entire toolkit of Reels without switching between formats – regardless of the length of the video.
Audience settings and privacy
The update will also unify audience settings for both Reels and regular feed posts. Users who previously had separate privacy settings for standard videos and Reels will be asked to confirm or update their preferences.
However, there is no change to privacy options. Users will still be able to control who sees their reels - whether it's friends, custom groups, or the general public.
Gradual rollout ahead
This change won't happen overnight. Meta has confirmed that the feature will be rolled out gradually over the coming months. This will give creators and everyday users time to adapt to the new form.
