To do so, simply tap the &#8220;Reels&#8221; tab at the bottom of your profile page. Tap the &#8220;Delete&#8221; option, and you&#8217;ll be prompted with a confirmation screen. You can then tap Delete to confirm your action. If you want to keep the reel on your profile, you can archive it.<\/p>\n<p>To remove the tag, simply tap the ellipses button next to the person&#8217;s name and select &#8220;Remove me from reel.&#8221; Your name will no longer appear in the reel. Tags in the captions or descriptions will not be removed, but you can request that the user remove them via DM. If you haven&#8217;t yet followed these steps, you may be missing out on some great content on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need to download the latest version of the Instagram app, which is available for Android from APK Mirror. This update was posted on July 19th, so make sure you turn off automatic updates in Google Play. Once you&#8217;ve done that, visit the Instagram page and tap on the vertical ellipsis. Here, you&#8217;ll be prompted to remove your Reels. After removing your reel, it won&#8217;t appear on the Explore tab, and won&#8217;t have a chance to be featured.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_change_your_cover_photo_after_enabling_reels_on_Instagram\"><\/span>How to change your cover photo after enabling reels on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve enabled reels on Instagram and would like to change your cover photo, you can easily do so online. You can choose to upload an image from your computer or from Facebook albums, depending on which format the Instagram website uses. When you upload a photo to your profile, you must keep in mind that it will be displayed as a thumbnail. Thumbnails are small versions of larger photos used to represent them on social media platforms. They are typically used when there is not enough space to display a full image or a user simply wants to quickly scroll through a gallery of images.<\/p>\n<p>To change your cover photo after enabling reels, log into your Instagram account and tap the hamburger menu icon. Next, go to the Reels tab in your profile and tap Edit. From there, choose the cover photo that you want to change. Then, choose the photo that will fit within your profile grid. If you&#8217;re unable to find the right cover photo for your reel, you can report the issue and Instagram will respond within 24 hours.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re still experiencing an issue with Reels, you may have forgotten to update the app. In this case, you may have to clear your temporary cache. If this doesn&#8217;t fix the issue, you can try refreshing your Instagram app or clearing your cache. If you haven&#8217;t yet updated your Instagram app, you can still find the reels option in your profile by scrolling down 4-5 times in the search section.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"272\" width=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XEKOP6isarQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Enable Reels on Instagram?
