Facebook has started adding Instagram Reels to its app. Now users of the Facebook app who live in the US will start seeing Reels on the social network's homepage. If you are among the people selected to test the new feature, you will notice that video clips will appear in the News Feed and in groups.
In addition to being able to watch Reeels directly in the Facebook app, the user will be able to post clips directly in the app and even upload them from Instagram to Facebook. According to the website The Verge, the test is being done due to the high popularity that the format is having, where interest in the short clips is growing "especially fast".

Reels' new Facebook app is currently only available to a small group of users in the US, Canada, India and Mexico. It is likely that it will soon be made available to everyone in these countries and then expanded to other regions of the world.
