Meta Tests 'Series' Feature to Organize Episodic Reels on Instagram and FacebookPreviousNext

Meta is testing a new 'Series' feature on Instagram and Facebook Reels that allows creators to group related videos into episodic collections. This feature, currently available to select creators, aims to make it easier for viewers to follow multi-part content like tutorials or challenges by organizing videos in a dedicated series section on profiles. Users may also access entire series from individual Reels, encouraging longer engagement. The move aligns Meta with competitors like TikTok, which introduced a similar feature in 2023.
