Facebook Reels, which launched on Instagram as a competitor of TikTok, has expanded to 150 countries as a feature on Facebook.
The service first debuted for U.S. users on Instagram in mid-2020. Prior to the expansion, Facebook Reels had been in Canada, Mexico and India, and much more broadly across the world as a feature on Instagram.
“Watching video is half of time spent on Facebook and Instagram, and Reels is our fastest growing content format by far,” parent company Meta explained in a blog post. “We’re focused on making Reels the best way for creators to get discovered, connect with their audience and earn money.

The blog post amplified commentary from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during Meta’s fourth-quarter earnings report earlier this month. While the quarterly financials were solid, the company was hit by changes in Apple’s app store, and the revelations of that hit to ad revenue prompted Meta stock to plunge 25% in a single day.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorPopular short-form video app TikTok is blocking Russian users from posting video to the platform because of the country’s new law that threatens to severely punish the publication of “false information.”On Friday, Russia passed a law making it illegal to publish “false information” about Russia’s military. Violators face potential fines, forced labor and up to 15 years in prison.“In light of Russia’s new ‘fake news’ law, we have no choice but to suspend livestreaming and new content to our video service while we review the safety implications of this law,” TikTok said in a statement Sunday.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorTikTok is again cranking up the maximum length of videos users can upload to the platform — more than tripling it, to 10 minutes.TikTok, owned by Chinese internet conglomerate ByteDance, is moving to let creators make longer-form videos as rivals like YouTube, Facebook and Instagram have aggressively built out their own TikTok-like short-form video features.TikTok’s expansion to allow up to 10-minute videos comes less than a year after it raised the maximum length of videos to three minutes in July 2021 (up from 60 seconds before).One of the reasons TikTok has become massively popular — with more than 1 billion monthly active users — is that it provides an auto-generated feed of entertaining, bite-size short videos of under a minute, algorithmically tailored to users’ interests. It’s not clear how many TikTokers will take advantage of the longer-form videos but the change clearly shows that the company is eager to facilitate ways to keep viewers in the app for longer periods of time.
