How to Use Linked Reels on Instagram | Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

If you’ve ever created several Instagram Reels about the same topic, you may have wondered how to make it easier for someone to find the next one.

Instagram’s Linked Reels feature lets you connect a new Reel to one you’ve already published. Instead of hoping someone visits your profile and searches for related content, you can give them a direct path to another Reel in the series.

This can be useful if you create tutorials, multi-part tips, recurring content, or several Reels that answer different questions about the same subject. When people engage with several parts of your series, Instagram may also show them more of your related content.

How to link Reels on Instagram

The Linked Reels feature is built into the Reel publishing process, so you don’t need another app or a complicated workaround.

In the video below, I’ll show you exactly where to find the Link a Reel option when you’re preparing a Reel to publish, how to choose an older Reel to connect to it, and how to add the short title people will see when they’re watching.

I’ll also show you what that link looks like from the viewer’s side, so you know where people will see it and how they can move from one Reel to the next.

If you regularly talk about the same topics on Instagram, learning how to link Reels on Instagram can help you organize that content into a more connected experience instead of treating every Reel like a stand-alone post.

Watch the video below to see how the feature works and where to find it in the Instagram app.
