3. Search by Audio

2. Search for a sound: Type the name of the song, artist, or a keyword describing the audio.

3. Select the Audio tab: Filter results to show matching sounds.

Tip: If you’re watching a Reel, you can also tap the song name directly to see other Reels with the same audio.

4. Find Reels You’ve Already Watched

1. Go to your profile: Tap your profile picture in the bottom-right corner.

2. Open the menu ☰: Tap the three horizontal bars at the top-right corner.

5. Filter your history: Narrow results by date or other available filters to quickly locate a specific Reel.

5. Watch Suggested Reels

Instagram’s Explore page and Reels tab automatically suggest videos based on your activity. These suggestions include trending content, videos similar to what you’ve watched, and Reels from accounts you follow. Simply scroll through your Explore or Reels tab to discover new content.

Pro Tip: Manage Multiple Accounts

For users managing more than one Instagram account, tools like BitBrowser can help:

• Create separate browser profiles for each account

• Assign unique fingerprints and proxies per account

• Keep cookies, cache, and sessions isolated
  This ensures multiple accounts can be used safely without triggering Instagram’s anti-abuse systems.
