TikTok has changed the social media landscape considerably, with YouTube, Facebook and Instagram all offering their own versions of the short video format.

Instagram is taking things a step further by officially changing all videos to Reels, which are the company's version of a short TikTok-style video. The change will affect all videos under 15 minutes and is coming "in the coming weeks." However, footage uploaded before the update will remain as videos.

Instagram said in a statement that Reels are a "more immersive and fun way to watch and create videos."

People who prefer the old-school Instagram video experience over short-form videos may not appreciate the change, but the social media giant is adding a slew of features to make the transition smoother.
