This comes days after Instagram rolled out a redesigned video editor for Reels along with other creator features. Also, users can now add up to five links in their bio along with their titles.

"This makes it easier to align and time elements of your reel to the right moments in a more visual way," Meta wrote in a blog post.

The company noted further that additional editing tools are on the way as it continues to try to chip away at TikTok's dominance.
