This tells Instagram what is and what isn\u2019t relevant to you.<\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><strong>Interaction history:<\/strong> Have you engaged with this user\u2019s Reels in the past? Even if you don\u2019t follow the account, if you\u2019ve liked, commented, or watched a Reel of theirs on repeat \u2013 you\u2019ll most likely see them again in your Feed.<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b> <strong>Information on the Reel: <\/strong>What audio track was used, and is it trending? How popular is the Reel? What is the Reel about?<\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b><strong>Information about the poster: <\/strong>How compelling do other people find their content? If you have lots of Reels going viral, that tells Instagram people love your content, and it will share more of it to keep users engaged.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also useful to know what Reels algorithm doesn\u2019t love.
