How to see your Instagram Reels watch history

Scrolling through Reels can be a haphazard experience. You spot a clip you like, swipe up to open it, and that’s it, you’ve watched it, but there’s no indication of where you were in the app’s never-ending stream. Until now. Instagram has introduced a “Watch History” feature for its short-form video feed.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri announced the update in a tweet. The feature shows you a list of Reels you’ve watched, making it easy to rewatch a clip you scrolled past but wanted to see again. Here’s how to use it?

Tap on your profile icon to open your profile, then go to Settings → Your Activity → Watch History. You’ll find a scrollable list of Reels you’ve recently watched there.
