It comes as no surprise that Instagram Reels is Crime Movies | Adult Movies Onlinecopying TikTok in just about every way it can. The videos loop. The like, comment, and share buttons are on the right side of the screen. Even the buttons on the bottom match. But one of the most useful parts of TikTok — being able to speed up videos while you watch them — was long not a feature available to Reels users. Until now.
To speed up a video to twice its normal speed on Instagram Reels, you'll have to employ a tactic all too familiar to TikTok users. All you have to do is press and hold on the side of the video, and it'll speed right up. Unlike TikTok, which speeds up videos while users press down on the right side of their screen, you can press on the right or the left side of the Reel to achieve this. Like TikTok, it will only speed up while you're pressing and holding down. This feature isn't yet available to everyone.

This is testing with a small group of people to start," a Meta spokesperson said in a statement to Mashable.
People love to watch videos on 2x speed. Some people do it while watching movies (which, to me, is unhinged, but is your right), YouTube videos, TikToks, and, now Reels too. While this might seem like a problem — how long until we start trying to speed our loved ones up? — it's probably not that big of a deal. As Mashable deputy UK editor Sam Haysom reported in 2022, research shows that students who watched videos at faster speeds "performed just as well in the tests as those watching at normal speeds."
"I was surprised at how effective students are at learning at 2X and even 2.5X speed," Murphy told Mashable at the time. "Our results demonstrated that students are good learners and can remember information even in circumstances that conventional wisdom suggests should be bad for learning. Given students' resiliency to faster playback speeds, I was encouraged that students could potentially use this strategy to enhance their comprehension."
Whether this has a significant impact on our offline communication remains to be seen. But I, for one, am ecstatic that I might be able to watch old movie trailers and videos I already saw on TikTok much faster on Reels now.
