Instagram just dropped a new feature that lets you link multiple Reels together—perfect for creators who love building series, tutorials, or follow-up content.

Instead of relying on your audience to find “Part 1” in your feed, you can now directly connect related videos, making your content easier to navigate and binge.

## How to *Link* a Reel

- **When publishing a new Reel:** Tap the *“Link a Reel”* button below the caption field, then choose which Reel you want to link.
- **For an already-published Reel:** Tap the three dots on the post, open the overflow menu, and select *“Link a Reel.”*
- **Pro tip:** Add a title to your linked reel so viewers know exactly what they’ll get when they click. You can edit this title—or change/remove the link—anytime.

## *Creative* Ways to Use Linked Reels

Here are a few ideas for how to make the most of this feature:

- **Tutorial Series** – Break down a longer tutorial into bite-sized parts (like *Part 1: Prep,* *Part 2: Application,* *Part 3: Styling*), and link them together.
- **Before & After Stories** – Share a transformation in multiple steps, linking each phase of the journey.
- **Product Reviews** – Connect an unboxing Reel to your full review, or link a “first impressions” video to a “1-month update.”
- **Event Coverage** – If you’re at a conference, festival, or launch, link highlights across multiple days for easy viewing.
- **Q\&A or Follow-Ups** – When a Reel sparks lots of questions, post a follow-up Reel with answers and link it back to the original.

## Why This *Matters*

Linked Reels keep your audience engaged longer by creating a seamless viewing experience. Instead of losing viewers between posts, you guide them exactly where you want them to go—whether that’s the next part of a series or deeper into your content library.
