From Instagram, more and more updates are being added to the application in order to improve it and make it more accessible to its users. One of the main purposes within it is that each user receives content related to their tastes and interests, and that is why in the field of Reels Instagram has launched the "Themes" function whose objective is precisely this, although Now let's go deeper into this issue..
The Instagram algorithm already filters the content that it shows to some users and others as we are going to see throughout the course, and that is why when we access the Instagram "Magnifying Glass" it is not the same content that is shown to some users. and other users. This content depends on the interactions and actions carried out by each user within the social network with other profiles and publications.
In this case, they wanted to refine the themes in relation to Instagram Reels, since it is one of the most used and preferred sections by users within the social network with a modality called "Themes" on which we are going to speak in this chapter of the Instagram course..
What are Reels Instagram themes?
The Themes in Instagram Reels would be a way to include the different types of content made by users within the Instagram social network in different categories or themes, so that each user is shown content that is truly related to the themes with which he is really related and interests.
These themes are added in Reels as labels that are pre-established by the application, so that we can pigeonhole our content within certain themes.
If when we make a Reel, before publishing, we add tags (Instagram allows us to add a maximum of 3 tags per Reel) we will be helping our content to have a greater reach, be seen by more accounts similar to ours and it is helping us to connect with people within the Instagram social network who share similar interests or with accounts with similar content within the application..
