Instagram has announced a new feature called Remix that will let users create, share and add their own perspective and fun on its Reels platform.

The new feature, seen as a take on Chinese short-form video app TikTok, allows users to “remix” a reel, meaning they can upload a video next to another user’s, building on top of the original clip.

“Remix lets you create your own Reel, along-side an existing reel. Interactive tools like Live Rooms, polls and questions in Stories, and AR effects have always been a huge part of how people connect on Instagram,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday. These stories, AR effects and short videos help to increase Instagram followers count.
