Instagram Reels is one of the most popular features that you get on the photo-sharing app. Meta, widely popular as Facebook, released this short video feature for Instagram back in 2020 as a rival to TikTok and other such apps. Instagram has made several improvements to the Reels since its launch and also added the Remix Reels option last year. This feature allows users to record their own videos and then club them with other popular reels on the platform from other content creators and users.
Not just videos, you can also Remix reels and photos with your Instagram Reel. This is one of the most interesting features that you get to use while creating any Reel video on Instagram. Instagram Remix Reels feature has been out for a long and still if you are new to creating Reels, you might not be aware of the ways to use it. If that’s the case, we will help you with the steps to create and remix any Reel video.
How To Remix Instagram Reel
You can remix any Instagram Reel video using Android and iOS smartphones.
Step 1: Open the Instagram application on your respective Android and iPhones.
Step 2: Click on the three dots option. It will be three horizontal dots for iPhones and three vertical dots for iOS.
Step 3: Click on Remix this reel option. You can set the preference if you want to place the remixed video next to the original video at the same time or later.
Step 4: Click on the Layout option. You’ll see this icon. This option will let you place the layout for the remixed video that you can place either below or next to the original video.
Step 5: Now, all you need to do is record your Reel video.
What Are The Steps To Remix A Feed Video On Instagram

Step 2: This time, select the Remix this video option instead.
Step 3: Now, choose the layout as you did above and place the below the original video or next to it. That’s it. Record your Reel and you are all set.
How Can You Remix Any Photo With Instagram Reels
Just like videos and other reels, you can also remix a reel with photos. The steps would be the same as with the remaining two. But the remix photos option isn’t available for all users at the moment, so, if in case you don’t find this option on your Instagram app chances are it’s unavailable in your region. Otherwise, update your app and then check if this feature adds up.
Step 1: Click on the menu option on the Instagram mobile app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Instead of reels and video, you would need to select the Remix this photo option.
Step 3: The photo will be set to default as the background of the reel video.
Step 4: Select the Layout option from the right-hand side if you wish to make any changes. Record your reel remixed with the photo.
