Instagram launches TikTok style feature 'Remix' on Reels

Instagram users can now "remix" a reel, meaning they can upload a video next to another user's, building on top of the original clip. The feature is already popular on TikTok, often for dance challenges, under the "duet" function.

In its bid to further take on Chinese short-form video app TikTok, Facebook-owned Instagram has announced a new feature called Remix that will let users create, share and add their own perspective and fun on its Reels platform.

"Remix lets you create your own Reel, along-side an existing reel. Interactive tools like Live Rooms, polls and questions in Stories, and AR effects have always been a huge part of how people connect on Instagram," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
