Tiktok has been banned in India completely and I will talk about why it was banned in my next Post, but this post is about how Instagram or should I say Instagram by Facebook grabbed an opportunity as well as an userbase which was heading nowhere. Instagram recently launched there Reels feature and to be honest it looks a little like Tiktok.

Who am I kidding here it looks exactly like Tiktok except it has the Insta Logo.

Now I really don't mind them taking opportunity of Titok's demise and grabbing Millions of users from them. They were at the right time and with tghe right product. Now it's not like Instagram won the battle as there are many other apps that are trying to gain tghe userbase from Tiktok but as of right now Instagram seems to be winning. So lets discuss a little pros and cons of this move.

Pros-

1. Users creating content on Instagram Reels will get the Brand of Instagram behind them.
2. They will garner a larger audience as I am hoping the Videos will not be location based.

Cons-

1. I am alittle worried about Copyright Claims as I am not sure how that will work out.
2. Things might be a lot stricter than Tiktok as all the videos or Reels will be under strict observation.

So yeah we will have to wait and see what the future holds for Instagram Reels.
