Now, your Instagram reels would be more engaging and will grab more eyeballs. The multimedia platform has announced a new 'dual video' feature.

This feature is available on both Android and iOS platforms.

Instagram, the app owned by Meta (formerly Facebook), routinely updates its features to help its users produce unique content.

Both the output will appear at the same time on the screen to make the reel more interactive.
