Instagram is working on a feature to get friends to share even more Reels with each other،

Instagram fans have something new to look forward to with a brand new feature called “Blend” brewing behind the scenes. This feature should mix all your favorite Reels with those of a friend, all organized just for the two of you.

This scoop comes directly from mobile developer and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who used X to share his discovery. It follows from this that with “Blend” you will have a private space to share the Reels recommendations that the Instagram algorithm thinks you and your friend will relate to.

Spotify vibe, but with Reels

As noted Technological crisis, this feature is a bit like Spotify's “Blend” feature, where you can mix your favorite tracks with a friend to create a shared playlist. Imagine a similar experience, but instead of songs, you mix and match your favorite short-form videos.

We are still unclear on some key details. For example, right now it appears that “Mixes” are completely private and you can bounce from them at any time, but those details haven't been made public. We'll also have to wait and see if the Reels feed is constantly updating or if there is a set refresh time.

The appearance of this new feature indicates that Instagram has even more going on here. “Blend” could be a new initiative to boost Reels and get everyone watching even more. After all, you and your friends are already direct messaging each other on all those fun Reels anyway, right? Now Instagram wants to be part of the action by suggesting what you might like.

Like any ongoing project, there is no guarantee that “Blend” will make it to your Instagram feed. But if it does, it could potentially shake things up. I can definitely see myself using this as I scroll through the reels.
