Anyone can create a Reel by taking new public Instagram photographs

As long as your account is public, Instagram will soon allow anyone on the platform to remix your fresh photographs. There will be an option to disable remixing, but you will have to deliberately opt out once the option is available – it will be enabled by default.

Instagram says it will introduce the ability to “remix” public photographs for usage inside Reels, its TikTok-like video service, in the “coming weeks.” The shift is intended to give Reels creators more stuff to work with as the firm goes all-in on short-form video in the hopes of keeping up with its explosively successful competitor.
