We all know Instagram is the king of Social Media apps when it comes to interaction using media. After all, it is one of the few apps which provides us with options for images, stories, Reels and so much more. Talking about Reels, you might have felt the need to add text on Reels sometimes.
Instagram might have a lot of features, but it cannot provide us with everything. That is why we have to come up with certain ideas of our own sometimes. In this article, we will take a look at ways to add text on Reels on Instagram.
How to make Reels on Instagram?
Before we dive into how to add text on Reels, we need to learn how to make Reels. Creating Reels on Instagram is quite easy as you will see. To create a Reel you would first need to head to your Instagram Profile page. From there tap on the + icon on the top right side of the app. Then select ‘Reels’ in the options menu and you will find yourself on the Reels screen. You can hold the circular record button to record your Reel video.
Another way to reach the Reels screen is to click on the video icon in the center of the Instagram toolbar. It is a strip containing options such as timeline, profile, Reels, etc at the bottom of the app. You will be taken to the Reels page where you can watch all the Reels people post. If you click on the + on the top right side, you would end up on the Reels creating screen as mentioned above. The next steps are the same as described earlier.
