Now, the businesses and creators will be able to tag products when they create Reels, and viewers can tap through those tags to buy or save them. A report states, "A branded content tag is also available for influencers who are paid for their posts."
Shopping is now available on Instagram in every format on the app - the Feed, Stories, IGTV and Live. Facebook last month announced two big changes to Instagram in the form of a Reels tab and a Shop tab.
