Speed up or slow down ANY videos using Instagram Reels

[@bushrabano7375]

There is no speed option. Only options are audio and scale

[@ashleyhaywood6312]

same for me, maybe it's an android thing?

[@kahleydevries2314]

Same for me so frustrating! I'm android too.

[@nres1]

Same

[@JosephHeady]

Same... epic fail

[@Carlomagnus333]

Same

[@quotesbyicons2618]

There is no speed option even after updating app

[@sabinaaliyeva7505]

What about others' videos, during watching how we can do this

[@saraf1084]

Thank you! I’ve been waiting for something like this!

[@SimplyCreate]

No problem. Happy it helped 😊

[@PurpleLenzPhotography]

Thanks!

[@SimplyCreate]

Thank you 😊

*UPDATE* - I have checked today on Instagram and this feature is still available and working. I use an iPhone 12 Mini (iOS) and have a creator account on Instagram (also tested this on a personal account and this feature was there). Not sure if this is available on an Instagram business account. Hoping this feature is available and usable for you all soon. 🙂

[@crystalsmithers6287]

Hey I just tried this but it does not give you the option to slow down? Only Icon for choosing music and scale?

[@DRACOFURY]

If my video was recorded in slowmo on my when ever I try to import it Instagram it's the whole entire video in slowmo?

[@patrascudragos]

Mate you’re a legend. You really know how to explain. Congratulations and good luck 🤞

[@SimplyCreate]

Thanks for your kind words and for watching and commenting 👊

[@shamelyshamely8196]

Thank you so much it work for me 🙏🏾

[@SimplyCreate]

Great 🙌 glad I could help.

[@Muffarino]

The speed option is there for me but not for pre-recorded videos?

[@SimplyCreate]

What account type do you have Personal, Creator or Business?

[@bartholomewsimpson6584]

Can you speed up someone else's reel? There's some people I follow that post a lot of reels. I think what they post is interesting, but I'd rather be watching it at 2x or 3x speed.

[@SimplyCreate]

Hi, this is a great suggestion but don’t think Instagram have watch back speed as a feature yet.

[@jatinmalik9370]

I am not seeing speed option after choosing video

[@jatinmalik9370]

Can you please help?

[@CatCastell]

This doesn’t work for me? For some reason when I click 4 or 2x the speed, it only speeds up the first two seconds of video, even though I have the whole clip selected. Any tips??

[@hayleyvoice2692]

This is available on my old iPhone 8 but just bought samsang22+ & it's not on there. Maybe only available on Iphone 😕

[@SimplyCreate]

Thanks for the update. I instagram just rolls features out at different times and on different devices. Hopefully its a feature you get soon

[@lukoh5540]

I wanna speed up while watching videos....

[@SimplyCreate]

Unfortunately don’t think that is possible yet. But I heard the feature may possibly be coming to the platform at some point

[@natashawilson90]

You can’t do this with a Live Photo though

[@jamee_maree]

I just want to be able to watch all videos on IG at 2x like I can on YT & TT. My ADHD brain gets too bored/distracted if I watch any video on normal speed 😂

[@SimplyCreate]

😂 I hear that! Unfortunately Instagram hasn’t yet made that happen in their features and update. Unless you count scrubbing through… but I don’t.

[@atharvvivek3275]

I have added just one photo to the reel, but there is no option of slowing down coming, since I wanted to add music to it

[@SimplyCreate]

I don’t think you can slow down pictures only change the speed of videos. If you want the picture to last longer add the same picture a few times

[@rockinacustomleather9966]

Did IG take this option away? Mine is gone today!

[@AnkurOberoi]

No speed option here either! I guess this is part of another test. 😤

[@SimplyCreate]

Unfortunately, they change stuff also certain accounts and countries get early access to different features. I am on a creator account in case that helps.

[@Marti2Lou]

So it's not ANY reel, only your own videos. I need to slow down the reels I see on Insta that are too fast.

[@Viewsfromwheels]

This option is available only in iOS device.

[@SimplyCreate]

Yes believe you are correct… for now. Updates for different operating systems happen at different times and are tested in different ways so keep and eye out

[@indysogi1032]

Please update. No option

[@SimplyCreate]

Been asked about how to do this so many times and never had a simple answer... until NOW 👍 You can watch more than 20 Reels tutorials here: kzbin.info/aero/PLHbM1pCe4bdgu3ajTBAZaQYWRb_bffEQB

[@thomasfowler8212]

i dont have scale or speed lol

[@aesea57804]

I want to WATCH reels at slower speed. The only info people give is for posting.

[@rfontaine118]

No one is explaining how to slow playback of reels. Not ones we created but ones we are viewing

[@SimplyCreate]

That’s because this feature isn’t available yet. If you need to watch something back in slow mo. Screen record it then you can change the speed using your phone

[@etamluosym40]

No help.
