Kathmandu. Instagram is preparing to launch its short video feature Reels as a separate app. Instagram has made this preparation as uncertainty grows over the future of Chinese short video app TikTok in the US.
According to technology publication ‘The Information’, Instagram chief Adam Mosseri informed employees about this this week. However, Instagram’s parent company Meta has not made any official statement on this.
In January this year, US President Donald Trump gave TikTok 75 days to comply with local laws. This law was created by the administration of former President Joe Biden.
According to the said law, TikTok will have to be sold to a local company or face sanctions if it does not comply with US law.
